Whirlpool 2188318A Freezer Gasket-Door

The Whirlpool 2188318A is an equivalent freezer door gasket developed to create a tight seal between your freezer door and the cabinet. This gasket is normally formed of flexible vinyl material that acts as a barrier, preventing cold air from departing and warm air from entering the freezer compartment. This helps to maintain consistent freezing temperatures, which is essential for keeping your food frozen and safe to eat.Without a suitable seal, cold air can escape, forcing your freezer to work more to sustain the required temperature. This can result in increased energy use and possibly higher electricity bills. Warm air infiltration can also introduce moisture into the freezer, causing frost buildup and potentially damaging your frozen goods.
