Whirlpool W10849448 Refrigerator Gasket
Product Description
The Whirlpool W10849448 is an equivalent gasket intended for Whirlpool refrigerators. It's an important seal that ensures a tight seal around the refrigerator door. This seemingly basic component is important to maintaining optimal refrigerator function.The gasket is often composed of a flexible and resilient substance, such as silicone or rubber. It forms a barrier that prevents warm air from entering the refrigerator cavity, raising the internal temperature. Cold air within the refrigerator is necessary to keep food fresh and avoid spoiling. A worn-out or cracked gasket might cause the refrigerator door to not seal properly, allowing warm air to enter.This inefficiency causes the refrigerator compressor to work overtime to maintain the desired cool temperature, resulting in higher energy usage.
