WR24X10185 Freezer Door Gasket

For owners of compatible GE or Hotpoint top-mount refrigerators, this WR24X10185 freezer door gasket is a targeted replacement when the existing seal is torn, worn, dirty, or no longer closing firmly. The listing says it is made from flexible rubber and is intended to help keep cold air in and reduce frost caused by a poor seal.

It’s a focused repair part, not a fix for every freezer temperature problem. Match the part number and your refrigerator model before ordering.

Best use cases

This gasket makes the most sense when you can see damage around the freezer door, notice a weak seal, or find frost or condensation associated with air leaking around the door. Rather than replacing an entire refrigerator over a worn seal, this is the narrower repair approach: replace the component that forms the door’s seal, provided the appliance is compatible.

Picture closing the freezer and spotting a section of gasket that has pulled away from the door groove. A replacement may address that specific sealing problem, it won’t correct a separate cooling fault elsewhere in the appliance. You’ll appreciate it if your current gasket is visibly worn and your refrigerator matches the supported part and model information. It may not suit you if you can’t confirm compatibility or the cooling issue has another cause.

Product specs

The gasket is black, made from flexible rubber according to the maker, and listed at 27.9 x 20.5 inches. Its primary part number is WR24X10185, the listing also identifies WR24X10099, 1169944, AP3861330, PS1017821, and EAP1017821 as replacement references. It is described for a range of GE and Hotpoint top-mount refrigerators, but the series names and example models in the listing aren’t a substitute for checking the detailed compatibility information for your exact refrigerator.

Installation is presented as a hands-on replacement: remove the old gasket, clean the mounting channel, align the new seal with the door groove, and press it into place. The instructions suggest using warm water or a hair dryer on low heat to ease folds or creases and help the gasket conform. That makes the job sound manageable for a careful DIY repair, though the listing doesn’t provide model-specific installation steps.

Where it shines

The main appeal is its specific purpose. A worn freezer seal can let cold air escape, and the listing connects that problem with frost buildup, condensation, and temperature fluctuations. If those symptoms come with a visibly damaged or poorly seated gasket, replacing the seal is a more focused first step than treating the appliance as though the whole unit needs replacement. What’s the practical difference? You’re addressing the door’s sealing surface, not buying a general-purpose cooling part.

The trade-off is fitment and diagnosis. The product description names compatible part numbers and a broad set of GE and Hotpoint models, but not every refrigerator is covered. A gasket that isn’t made for your model may not seat correctly, and a new seal won’t resolve problems unrelated to the door. Check the model and existing part reference against the compatibility details before starting the repair.

Buying verdict

Consider this WR24X10185 if your refrigerator is among the compatible models and the freezer-door gasket itself is the likely source of the leak, frost, or poor seal. Its appeal is a direct replacement route, with the listed dimensions, material, color, and alternate part references giving you details to compare. Skip it when model compatibility is uncertain or the symptoms point beyond the door seal, in those cases, confirming the actual fault matters more than choosing a gasket by appearance alone.
