Introduction
Use this guide to replace the door seal in your Whirlpool Refrigerator. Getting the old seal off is relatively easy. Installing a replacement seal can be tricky because you need to stretch the seal.
The door seal isolates the airflow inside the refrigerator so it can stay cool. If your refrigerator is not getting cold, or you feel the cold escaping, your door seal might be bent or torn.
This guide will work for most Whirlpool refrigerators. This guide is written with a model WRS315SDHW refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
