W10830046 Whirlpool Refrigerator Fresh Food Door Gasket

Refrigerator Fresh Food Door Gasket

This component seals the refrigerator door, keeping cold air inside and room air outside. It also prevents door condensation.

Whirlpool brands include Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea as well. The gasket is grey.

The Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It creates an airtight seal around the refrigerator or freezer door, preventing cold air from leaking out and warm air from getting in. This seal is essential for maintaining the appliance's internal temperature, ensuring food stays fresh and safe.

Common causes of a faulty Door Gasket include regular wear and tear, accidental damage, and exposure to extreme temperatures or cleaning chemicals that can weaken the material.

Signs of a faulty Door Gasket include:

- Visible gaps between the gasket and the refrigerator frame
- Condensation or frost buildup inside the refrigerator or freezer
- Increased energy consumption as the refrigerator works harder to maintain the set temperature
- The door not closing tightly or feeling easier to open

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
