Whirlpool W11378860 Refrigerator Spacer

The Whirlpool W11378860 Refrigerator Spacer is an important but undetectable component built exclusively for Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators. It's a plastic piece that sits within the refrigerator door walls. This spacer is critical to ensuring accurate alignment between the inner insulating layer and the outer door panels. The spacer keeps these pieces correctly spaced, resulting in a tight seal around the refrigerator door. This tight seal is required for best refrigerator performance. It keeps cold air from escaping out, which can reduce efficiency and increase energy expenditures. A properly sealed door also prevents warm air from entering the refrigerator, ensuring that your food remains at consistent and safe temperatures. In simple words, the W11378860 spacer functions as an internal frame.
