Refrigerator Door Gasket

Whirlpool's range of brands includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The door gasket offered is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part suitable for Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators. This part is a flexible rubber seal that fits around the edge of the refrigerator door, ensuring an air-tight closure that prevents the escape of cool air when the door is shut.

Signs that the door gasket may need replacement include:
- Higher energy consumption as the refrigerator works harder to maintain internal temperatures
- Accumulation of frost or condensation near the door edges
- Visible wear such as cracks or flattened areas that compromise the seal

The deterioration of the door gasket is typically due to frequent use, which involves constant opening and closing of the refrigerator door. Additionally, prolonged exposure to heat and light may weaken the adhesive that holds the gasket in place.

This replacement door gasket is also compatible with refrigerators from Maytag, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air, ensuring a broad applicability across different models.
