Introduzione

Use this guide to replace the door seal in your Whirlpool WRS315SDHW Refrigerator.

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.

    • During reassembly, perform the following:

    • Use a Jimmy, or a similar tool, to remove any sealing foam in the door frame groove.

    • Use a mild cleaning solution to fully clean the groove.

    • Reinstall your door by attaching the top edge first, then wrapping the seal around the frame's perimeter.

    • You'll hear the gasket lock into the seam.

    • You may have to stretch the seal a few inches at the final edge.

    • To test if your replacement door seal is working, perform the following:

    • Open the door slightly and insert a clean, flat bill between the door seal and the frame.

    • Close the door and slowly drag the bill away from the device.

    • If the seal is tight, then you should feel a moderate amount of resistance in the bill.
