Product Description
Restore the seal and efficiency of your refrigerator with the Whirlpool 2177311 Magnetic Door Gasket. This genuine OEM replacement is designed for many Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore and associated models. It creates a tight seal around the fresh-food door to prevent warm air infiltration, lower cooling efficiency and frost build-up. Because gasket widths and liner profiles vary by model year, please check with your maintenance technician prior to ordering to confirm correct fit and compatibility.

Compatibility Notes
-
Confirm the door liner width, gasket channel profile, and mounting clip or adhesive style — even with the correct part number, fitment can vary across production runs.
-
Replacing the gasket restores sealing integrity, but if the door is misaligned, hinges worn or liner warped, you may still see performance issues — have a technician evaluate the whole door assembly.
-
Installation requires removing the old gasket, cleaning the groove or channel, and seating the new gasket properly. Keeping the door closed for an hour or two afterward helps the magnetic seal form fully.
-
Because the gasket is a large part, shipping may incur oversized packaging charges. Check freight options if purchasing for multiple units.
