W10830055 Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Gasket

Refrigerator Door Gasket, Gray Color.
This component ensures an air-tight seal around the refrigerator cabinet when the door is shut, which helps to prevent condensation on the doors. It is compatible with Whirlpool brand refrigerators, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it suits appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea brands. This gray door gasket is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part designed to block warm air from entering the fridge. It may fit on the right, left, or both doors depending on the specific model. Before buying, confirm that this is the correct gasket for your refrigerator model. Installation is straightforward and can typically be done without professional help.

Start the installation at the top center of the door and work your way around. If the gasket is twisted or kinked, you can gently heat it with a hair dryer set on low to eliminate any flaws. For better sealing, apply a small amount of Vaseline to the hinge side of the gasket. This gasket is suitable for use with various refrigerator models from Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, and KitchenAid.

It's important to note that the gasket material may become more pliable if soaked in warm water or exposed to sunlight, which can make the installation easier.
