This Whirlpool refrigerator door gasket (part number W10443315) is essential for maintaining the efficiency of your refrigerator. By sealing the gap between the refrigerator's door and body, it prevents the ingress of warm air, aiding in maintaining optimal temperatures inside the unit.

Special Installation Tip: To ease the installation process and ensure the gasket fits tightly without folds or creases, soak the gasket in warm water or warm it gently using a hair dryer on a low heat setting before installation. This makes the material more flexible and easier to work with.

Note: Before replacing the gasket, it is advisable to safely store any perishable food items that could be affected by prolonged exposure to room temperature while the refrigerator door remains open during the repair process.

By following these installation tips, you can ensure your refrigerator continues to operate efficiently, helping to preserve food freshness and reduce energy consumption.

Easy to install
November 27, 2021

I am very happy with how this purchase turned out. First, I used to on-line chat to verify the part number I needed and the person I spoke with was able to apply a discount to my order. The part arrived within a couple of days, and was very easy to put on the door. Initially it did not seem to seal properly, but after only a few hours the rubber had taken on the correct shape and was sealing well. All around good experience

It was very easy to install. I am pleased to find what I needed for an older model of refrigerator. Cheaper than a new refrigerator.

Gasket does not work
November 25, 2020

Easy to install, but gasket does not seal freezer shut (unless mine was defective),....compared magnet on original gasket to be replaced and it was stronger than the new one that was received. This was a total waste of my time and now I have to ship it back for a refund. I had also purchased a new freezer door handle, it cracked within 2 months while the original lasted for over 10 years. Thus far I would have to say your replacement parks are junk based on my experience.

Very easy to do

Very easy repair. It would be nice if they would ship it flat in the box and not twisted it makes it hard to seal without taking a hair dryer to straighten it out or put the gasket in the sink with hot water.

Very easy to install

The old gasket came off with just a pull, and inserting the new gasket was a breeze. Just slip the flanged edge into the slot in the door, and press down firmly with your fingers. Of course you must remove the door first. My old gasket was leaking, but no leaks with the new one.
