Refrigerator Door Gasket (Left Side) in Gray
Whirlpool manufactures products under various brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and also produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The gasket comes in a gray color.
The Whirlpool-produced refrigerator door gasket is an authentic replacement component crafted to ensure a secure seal between the fridge door and its cabinet. This seal is essential for maintaining airtight conditions when the door is shut. The gasket, attached to the door's perimeter, is pliable and features a magnetic strip that adheres to the metal surface of the refrigerator. Its primary function is to block warm air infiltration and prevent the loss of cooled air, supporting the maintenance of optimal internal temperatures. Consequently, it aids in extending food freshness and optimizing energy consumption by reducing the refrigerator's cooling demands.
This specific Whirlpool part is also suited for use in Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears models.
Typical issues addressed by this part include:
- Excessive condensation or frost formation inside the unit
- Noticeable cracks, tears, or deformation in the gasket
- Challenges in smoothly opening or closing the door
