WPW10320706 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Air Return Gasket

WPW10320706 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Air Return Gasket

The WPW10320706 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Air Return Gasket is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part designed for compatible refrigerators. Also identified as a rear air return gasket, this component helps seal the refrigerator's internal air-return pathway, supporting proper airflow within the appliance.

Available through Appliance Kingdom, a Canadian appliance parts supplier based in Edmonton, Alberta, this genuine Whirlpool replacement part is intended for customers repairing compatible refrigerator models. We serve homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance technicians across Canada with nationwide shipping and assistance with parts compatibility.

If your refrigerator has a damaged, missing, or deteriorated rear air return gasket, replacing it with the correct OEM component can help restore the intended airflow pathway and gasket seal.

Function & Importance of the Air Return Gasket

The WPW10320706 gasket seals the rear air-return area inside a compatible refrigerator. The air-return pathway allows air to circulate through the appliance as part of its cooling system.

A damaged, displaced, or deteriorated gasket can compromise the seal around this pathway and potentially interfere with the refrigerator's intended airflow.

Using the correct OEM gasket is important because its shape, dimensions, and placement must match the refrigerator's internal design. An incorrectly fitted gasket may not seal properly or support the intended airflow.

Common Signs That Your Refrigerator Air Return Gasket Needs Replacement

A damaged or incorrectly positioned air return gasket may contribute to the following issues:

• Uneven cooling between refrigerator compartments

• Airflow problems around the internal return-air opening

• Visible damage, deterioration, or displacement of the existing gasket

• An incomplete seal around the rear air-return pathway

These symptoms do not necessarily indicate a failed gasket. If your refrigerator is not cooling correctly, other components or airflow obstructions may also be responsible.

Will Replacing WPW10320706 Fix My Refrigerator?

Replacing the WPW10320706 can resolve a problem when the original rear air return gasket is damaged, missing, or no longer sealing correctly. However, it will not resolve every cooling or temperature-related issue.

Inspect the existing gasket and verify the refrigerator's model-specific parts information before ordering. If the appliance continues to cool improperly, further diagnosis may be necessary.

Compatibility & Ordering Guidance

WPW10320706 is a refrigerator rear air return gasket used in compatible Whirlpool-family appliance applications.

Before purchasing, check the complete model number on your refrigerator and confirm that WPW10320706 is listed for that specific model. Similar-looking refrigerator gaskets can differ in shape, dimensions, and application.

If you need assistance, provide Appliance Kingdom with your refrigerator's complete model number so compatibility can be checked before you order.
