Question Freezer door lock/gasket repair
Brand: Whirlpool
Model Number: EV170NXJW00 G0

My Whirlpool Upright Freezer Model #EV170NXJW00 G0 has a broken door lock and the gasket will not seal. How do I take the door apart to fix the lock and how do I replace the gasket?

Here is a link to your fridge model EV170NXJW00.

The door should close and seal without the lock working.

Is the door bent?

Is there something in the freezer that is stopping the door from closing.

To replace the door gasket and fix the lock you will have to take the door off.

Thanks for your help. The door is not bent and there is nothing blocking. The link will help a lot!
