Whirlpool Refrigerator W11170805 Door Side Trims
Cracked, broken, or missing refrigerator door side trims allow cold air to escape along the door edges and leave the door liner exposed to moisture and physical damage. In most Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag refrigerators, the door side trims are the vertical retainer strips that cap the left and right edges of the door liner, holding the gasket channel in alignment and protecting the door structure. When they crack or break, the door gasket loses its anchor point on the sides, cold air escapes, and the door liner becomes vulnerable to further damage. ⚡ A common cosmetic and functional failure on Whirlpool-platform refrigerators. Part W11170805 is the genuine OEM door side trim set that restores proper edge sealing, gasket alignment, and a clean factory appearance.

After installing the new door side trims and gasket, close the refrigerator door on a dollar bill at several points around the full perimeter — including the sides. You should feel resistance when pulling the bill out. If it slides out easily along the side edges, the gasket isn’t seating correctly at that point. Adjust the trim or gasket alignment before calling the job done.

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing the door side trims restores proper edge sealing and normal energy efficiency immediately.
Skill Level: Easy — 20–30 minutes. Disconnect power before servicing. The door side trims snap or screw into the vertical edges of the door liner — remove the old trims by carefully prying them away from the door liner starting at a corner. Align the new W11170805 trims with the door liner edge channels and press firmly until all clips engage or reinstall the retaining screws. Reinstall the door gasket if it was removed, and verify the door seals flush against the cabinet on all sides.
