W11240749 Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Gasket

Refrigerator Door Gasket Overview.

Whirlpool's product range includes brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The black door gasket is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for use with Whirlpool refrigerators. This rubber gasket ensures a tight seal around the refrigerator door's edge, crucial for maintaining the correct internal temperature and humidity levels.

Signs of a failing door gasket include:

- Inadequate cooling and issues with the freezer's performance.
- Increased frost or moisture buildup inside the refrigerator.
- Elevated energy bills due to poor temperature control.
- Signs of warm air entering, as indicated by unusually high internal temperatures.
Common reasons for gasket wear and tear include cracks, tears, or loss of elasticity, which typically occur after prolonged use and can disrupt the effectiveness of the seal.

This specific Whirlpool gasket is compatible with appliances across several brands, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
