The Door Gasket is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Wrapped around the refrigerator perimeter, this dense sealing strip prevents air and moisture infiltration when the door is closed.
Symptoms of a faulty door gasket include:
- Higher electricity bills due to inefficient insulation
- Condensation or frost buildup inside door walls
- Air drafts inside the refrigerator/freezer compartments
- Difficulty closing the door tightly flush
Causes of a faulty gasket can include shrinkage over time allowing gaps, tears, or cracks from repeated impacts or door slams, and debris collection along the seal edge.
This Whirlpool OEM part fits appliances such as KitchenAid and Kenmore.
