Additional Information
This Whirlpool-manufactured refrigerator door gasket, part number 2159073, is designed to maintain your refrigerator's efficiency by preventing air leaks. The gasket replaces several previous part versions, thereby ensuring continued part availability and compatibility.
To ease the installation, you can smooth out any folds and creases in the gasket by soaking it in warm water or gently warming with a hair dryer set to low heat. This step helps the gasket to form a complete seal once installed. Always remember to safely store any perishable food items while performing this maintenance task.
When I received my door gasket I took it into the living room and placed it on the kitchen table to let it relax. The next day I took the door off, removed the gasket, and replaced it in less than 30 minutes. Please refer to the section on You Tube that discusses how to remove and replace this gasket.. it went as planned. Thanks..

My Service Tech was on time and professional. He explained the install requirements and did an excellent job replacing the gasket. He even shared an ideal for the use of the magnet inside the old gasket. Personal and professional, a great service visit.

Fast shipping and it fit
August 20, 2021|justfixit, Lyman, ME
Part price was good and shipping was fast. Not the same quality as the original gasket but it fit, it seals and was relatively easy to install. Follow some install tips from YouTube and it shouldn't be a problem.

Frig door gasket

The installation was simple but unfortunately, it didn't perform well. The gasket doesn't seal well enough. The door doesn't close well.

Let the gasket sit in the sun for an hour or so, installed pretty easy but after 2 weeks it ripped at a corner

Total Junk, Doesn't Seal!
August 08, 2018|Ellejay, Iowa
This gasket is junk. Purchased to replace a failing gasket and this one seals worse than the one we removed. Not to mention it's overpriced. Save your money

Very Disappointed
March 19, 2018|Cblchief, Warwick ny
The replacement gasket does not seal properly. Trying to make it work but may have to revert to the old one and send it back.
