Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Gasket (W10830162)

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Gasket seals the refrigerator door to the cabinet. It forms an air-tight barrier that helps keep cold air in and warm, humid air out. A tight seal supports stable interior temperatures and reduces moisture entry that can lead to frost and condensation.

Door gaskets can fail from normal wear, repeated door slams, and long-term compression that leaves the seal flattened. Tears, splits, or hardening of the rubber can create gaps. Food spills, grease, and grime can also prevent the gasket from seating evenly against the frame.

If you notice any of the following issues, a worn or damaged door gasket may be the cause:

• Moisture or water droplets along the door edge or on interior shelves near the door
• Frost buildup near the door opening or along the inside perimeter
• The door does not close smoothly or pops open after closing
• Visible cracks, tears, warping, or areas where the gasket pulls away from the door
• Cold air leaking at the door edge or an uneven seal when you press around the perimeter
• Longer run times or temperature swings that improve when the door is held closed
