ALVAR W10830046 Refrigerator Door Gasket with Magnetic Strip, 17.05" x 42.52

When a refrigerator door no longer seals evenly, replacing the gasket can help restore a close barrier around the door. The ALVAR W10830046 refrigerator door gasket has an embedded magnetic strip and a flexible PVC outer layer, designed to sit around the door and help limit warm air from entering. It is listed as a replacement for select Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore refrigerators.

Its stated dimensions are 17.05" x 42.52", and the package includes the gasket and 10 refrigerator magnets. Matching the replacement part to your refrigerator model helps ensure the gasket is suited to the door.

Who it’s for

This gasket is for refrigerator owners replacing a stained, warped, worn, or damaged door seal, or addressing a door that does not close with an even seal. The magnetic strip helps the gasket meet the refrigerator cabinet when the door is shut, while the flexible outer layer follows the door’s perimeter. A sound fit can help reduce cold air escaping and warm air entering, which is also relevant when you see condensation or frost around the door.

It is listed for compatible Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore models, including Whirlpool KRFC302EBS00 and KRFC302ESS02, KitchenAid KFCP22EXMP1, Jenn-Air JFC2290VEP10, and Kenmore 596.79553010. These are examples from the listed fit information, not a substitute for checking your refrigerator’s model number. The gasket is described for either left- or right-side refrigerator doors.

Pros

The embedded magnetic strip is a practical feature for a door seal: it helps the gasket meet the refrigerator cabinet around the door instead of relying on the flexible material alone. That makes this a targeted replacement for a worn seal, rather than a general-purpose repair material. The specified dimensions also give you a concrete measurement to compare with the existing gasket.

For installation, clean the door groove, remove the old gasket, align the replacement with the door, and press it into the channel. If folds need smoothing before fitting, the product instructions suggest laying the gasket flat or warming it gently with warm water or a hair dryer on a low setting. Avoid stretching it during installation, then close the door and check that the seal sits evenly. A paper strip placed at the door gap can help assess whether the closed door grips the seal.

If you are choosing between a generic gasket and a replacement identified by a specific part number, this option is useful when W10830046 or one of its listed replacement numbers matches your refrigerator. The package includes 10 refrigerator magnets, and the product carries a 365-day warranty.
