Whirlpool WPW10400435 Refrigerator Door Gasket

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL WPW10400435 is a foam door gasket designed for residential refrigerators. It forms the airtight seal between the refrigerator door and the cabinet, preventing warm air infiltration and maintaining interior temperature stability. A failed or damaged gasket leads to compressor overrun, frost buildup, and food spoilage. This part is a direct OEM-style replacement installed by appliance service technicians and experienced DIYers performing routine maintenance or damage repair. The foam construction conforms to the door frame channel, restoring a consistent seal across the full door perimeter.

This gasket is used in residential refrigerator applications where the original door seal has torn, hardened, pulled away from the door liner, or lost its magnetic retention. It is suited to standard cabinet-style refrigerator doors and is typically replaced during routine service calls or as part of an energy-efficiency restoration. The part number WPW10400435 also cross-references as W10400435 in earlier supplier documentation.

Key Features

• Foam construction conforms to door frame channel for consistent perimeter seal
• Restores airtight closure to prevent warm air infiltration and compressor overrun
• OEM-style replacement with direct fitment to the original door liner channel
• Cross-references part number W10400435

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement gasket for Whirlpool residential refrigerators. Verify fitment against the appliance model number before installation, as door gaskets are model-specific.

Installation Notes

Appliance service technicians typically handle door gasket replacement. Unplug the refrigerator before beginning work. The old gasket is removed by pulling it free from the door liner retainer channel; the new gasket seats into the same channel without adhesive on most models. After installation, verify the door closes flush and the seal is uniform around the full perimeter before returning the unit to service.
