Whirlpool W11175810 Refrigerator Door Magnet

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W11175810 is a refrigerator door magnet designed as a metal retaining component within the door-closing system. It works in conjunction with the corresponding metal surface on the cabinet frame to hold the refrigerator door in its closed position. This magnetic component forms part of the sealing mechanism, maintaining consistent contact between the door and the cabinet to preserve the separation between the refrigerated interior and the surrounding room environment. It is a direct OEM replacement part installed by appliance service technicians during door seal system repairs.

This door magnet is compatible with selected Whirlpool French-door and bottom-mount refrigerator models. It is positioned in the specified mounting area within the door assembly and contributes to the overall closure system. This part is typically serviced when the door no longer holds a firm seal against the cabinet frame, resulting in temperature inconsistency or excessive frost buildup inside the refrigerator compartment.

Key Features

• Metal retaining magnet that maintains door-to-cabinet contact during normal operation
• Designed for use in French-door and bottom-mount refrigerator configurations
• Functions as part of the door sealing mechanism to preserve interior temperature
• OEM replacement component for the original factory-installed magnet

Compatibility

Compatible with selected Whirlpool French-door and bottom-mount refrigerator models as specified by the manufacturer. Refer to your model and serial number to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified appliance service technician. Disconnect power to the refrigerator at the circuit breaker or by unplugging the unit before beginning any door assembly work. Follow the manufacturer service documentation for positioning and securing the magnet within the door structure. Avoid forcing components during installation, as improper fitment can compromise door seal performance.
