Whirlpool 2188318A Gasket-Door for Freezer

The Whirlpool 2188318A freezer door gasket is designed to form a tight seal between the freezer door and the cabinet. Constructed from flexible vinyl material, it acts barrier to prevent cold air from escape & warm air from entering the freezer compartment. This function helps in maintaining consistent freezing temperatures, which is crucial for preserving the quality & safety of stored food. Without an effective seal, cold air loss can cause the freezer to work harder to maintain the necessary temperature, leading to increased energy consumption and potentially higher electricity costs. Additionally, warm air entering the freezer can introduce moisture, leading to frost buildup and possible damage to frozen items.
