4055982419 Genuine Door Gasket for Westinghouse Fridges WHE5000SA, Refrigerator Door Seal, Also Listed as A01961801K

Westinghouse WHE5000SA owners can replace a split or worn door seal with this genuine Electrolux gasket, part 4055982419. Electrolux links the gasket to the WHE5000SA, and it's also listed under A01961801K. The WHE5000SA has more than one door, each with its own seal, and the description doesn't say which door this one suits. Measure or compare your old gasket, or ask us, before ordering 4055982419.

When a Westinghouse fridge door seal stops sealing

Door gaskets wear out from years of opening and closing, cleaning products and food spills. Once a seal hardens or splits, warm air leaks in and the fridge struggles to hold temperature. Watch for frost or ice building up near the door, sweating on the cabinet edge, a fridge that runs far longer than it used to, rising power bills and a door that swings open again after closing. Mould and black marks in the folds are another sign the gasket has reached the end of its life.

Replacing the WHE5000SA door gasket

Switch the fridge off at the wall and empty the door bins first. Starting at a top corner, peel back the old gasket to see whether it's pressed into a groove or held with screws, then fit the new one the same way, corner by corner. Soften any creases with a hair dryer on a low setting. Close the door, wait a few hours and check the seal is even all the way around.
