W11675844 Whirlpool Oven Door Gasket

Oven Door Gasket

The oven door gasket, manufactured by Whirlpool, is an essential OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for use in Whirlpool ranges. It measures 75.40 inches and is crucial for sealing the oven door effectively. By doing so, it prevents heat from leaking out and helps maintain the necessary cooking temperatures within the oven.

Whirlpool's brand portfolio includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products compatible with Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Deterioration of the gasket can occur due to warping, cracks, or tears, typically resulting from long-term exposure to high temperatures. This degradation can lead to several issues, such as:

- Inefficient or uneven cooking
- Lower oven temperatures than expected
- Heat escaping from around the oven door
- Visible wear or damage on the gasket

This replacement gasket is not only suitable for Whirlpool but also fits models from KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore appliances. Replacing the gasket is advised if there are any signs of wear, as it plays a vital role in the energy efficiency and overall performance of your oven.
