You should feel resistance when pulling the bill out — if it slides out easily at any point, the gasket isn't seating correctly and cold air is escaping at that spot. Adjust the trim or gasket alignment before calling the job done.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e✓ Model-Specific Repair Pages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"model-link-grid\"\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/kitchenaid-refrigerator-parts-canada\" style=\"display:inline-block;border:1px solid #cc0000;border-radius:20px;padding:5px 14px;font-size:13px;color:#cc0000;text-decoration:none;margin:4px;\"\u003eREFRIGERATOR\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"XPart Supply Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"OEM","offer_id":52773333827873,"sku":"W11097831","price":39.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used","offer_id":52773333860641,"sku":"W11097831","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/W11097831.png?v=1779906822","url":"https:\/\/xpartsupply.com\/products\/w11097831-refrigerator-door-trim","provider":"XPart Supply Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
