Part WR78X20985 Refrigerator Freezer Drawer Gasket
Purpose
Creates an airtight seal for the freezer drawer.
Details
The WR78X20985 is a genuine OEM freezer drawer gasket (door seal) specifically designed for GE and Monogram bottom-freezer refrigerators. This white rubberized seal is responsible for maintaining a strict thermal barrier between the freezer compartment and the external environment. By preventing warm, moist air from entering the unit, it protects against frost buildup on evaporator coils and stored food. Over time, gaskets can become brittle, torn, or compressed, leading to energy loss and excessive ice formation. Symptoms of a failing gasket include visible gaps, frost near the drawer edges, or the freezer running constantly. Replacing a worn seal restores cooling efficiency and prevents premature wear on the compressor.
Included Items
One freezer drawer gasket; no tools are typically required for the "push-in" installation style, though a hairdryer may be used to remove shipping kinks.
