W11378944 Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Gasket

Refrigerator Door Gasket, Black.

This component is essential for creating a tight seal around the doors of the refrigerator and freezer when they are closed, ensuring that moisture and air do not enter. It is suitable for use with various brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it serves as an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators and is also compatible with certain Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models.

The gasket may fail due to prolonged exposure to mechanical wear or harsh chemicals, and its effectiveness can be compromised by temperature changes.

Signs of a failing door gasket include:

- Increased frost or moisture accumulation inside the fridge.
- Rising energy costs due to poor insulation and loss of cooling efficiency.
- Warm air entering the fridge, which can affect food preservation.

This gasket is also compatible with other brands such as KitchenAid and Roper.
