W10850441 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Gasket

This Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Gasket (W10850441) is a genuine part crafted specifically for Whirlpool appliances but is also compatible with Maytag brands. It serves as a crucial barrier by utilizing magnetic forces and flexibility to create a tight air seal when the door is closed, ensuring the refrigerator maintains its desired interior temperature efficiently. Known for its special feature to straighten any smooth folds or creases, this gasket can be easily adjusted with warm water or a low heat setting from a hair dryer. The addition of magnets embedded around its perimeter allows for an effective air barrier by preventing the escape of cold air and the entry of warm external air. If you notice your refrigerator is not maintaining its temperature, condensation is forming excessively inside, or there are visible damages to the current gasket, it's likely time for a replacement. For a seamless installation process, remember to safely store any food that might deteriorate and unplug your appliance. Additionally, wearing protective gloves is recommended to guard against any potential harm during the setup. Before purchasing, double-check your appliance's model number to ensure the perfect fit for your refrigerator.
