Gasket was easy to install. It came in a cardboard package so it laid flat perfectly on the door.

Refrigerator door gasket
October 26, 2022

I was surprised I only got a gasket for only the refrigerator door! My refrigerator also has a freezer door! The gasket that was on the refrigerator door is much sturdier! The one I purchased is flimsy! A little disappointed in the new one! Yvonne

Kenmore Refrigerator Gasket
October 20, 2022

This gasket was a perfect fit for the Kenmore Refrigerator I purchased several years ago. After a recent hurricane, the existing gasket was ruined by disgusting mold because I couldn't get back into the house to clean out the refrigerator after the electricity went out. The key is to go to the SearsDirect website and enter the exact model number of the refrigerator. The website will then guide you to which parts will be matches for your refrigerator. I'm very happy with my purchase and SearsDirect.

Very Poor Seal
September 22, 2022

My Kenmore refrigerator's seal was not good so I bought this as a replacement. Sadly, the door seal with this was even worse. The replacement gasket's depth was less than the original and thus, there was a continuous gap between the gasket and the refrigerator body. Very disappointed.

Simple install, perfect repair
August 23, 2022

Installation was quick and easy. No tools required. Literally pull the old gasket out and push the new one in. The fridge now seals like a dream and holding temperature like a champion again.

Very easy to install
July 18, 2022

Once I received an undamaged door gasket due to UPS, the gasket was easy to install and took only about five minutes. Ups mangled the first one and took two weeks to deliver. I called Sears for a replacement and received the next day.
