The Refrigerator Door Gasket (Beige) is an OEM replacement part specifically designed for Whirlpool-brand refrigerators. The gasket is responsible for preventing warm air and moisture from entering the refrigerator when doors close. The gasket measures approximately 19 ¼” wide x 62" tall. Causes of a gasket issue can include cracking and degradation due to repeated compression over many years of use. Sections may lose elasticity and no longer seal tightly.  Symptoms of a bad gasket include: High energy costs as the system works to maintain proper cooling Warm, humid interior environment allowing food decay Visible air leaks around gasket edges when doors are shut This part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and other brands.2159075 (AP3083603) replaces 2159071, 2159079, 2171177, 2177290, 2181889, 2196243, 2221302, 2309528, 443020, AH323900, EA323900, PS323900, W10912123.
