I'm looking for a rubber seal for the doors. Can any help me?

Yes, you can find the gaskets for the doors of this model on the GE Appliances parts website in the link here: https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/ModelSectionParts/GTH18GBD4RWW/1/0/0/0/DOORS.
Refrigerator works fine. Handles are terrible! Lower handle keeps breaking. I have replaced it several times with GE parts. This should be a recall item and free. I have seen endless complaints about this specific problem. GE should be able to do better than this!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to review the situation with your handle further. We will be reaching out to you via email to gather additional information. Please respond to the email at your earliest convenience.
I recently received one of these, manufactured in 2013, from a neighbor. This GE GTH18GBDWW is in pristine condition but lacked an icemaker. I searched online for several days looking for the specific model icemaker to retrofit to this refrigerator.
I found the IM4D ice maker and read extensively about it. I found that in the many descriptions I'd read that the IM4D would fit "most" refrigerators in the class of units described. I looked inside the freezer compartment of the GE GTH18GBDERWW and saw the factory mounting points which matched up with the physical characteristics and mounting points of the IM4D.
To cut to the chase, I installed the ice maker and rolled the refrigerator into position, hooking up the water line at the bottom rear of the unit. I turned on the water, plugged in the refrigerator and after six seconds or so (I was counting) I heard the first measured quantity of water being dispensed into the ice maker. I permitted the ice maker to make ice for two days, poured the initial batches of ice into to sink and it's been smooth sailing for the past 18 days.
The refrigerator is cold as it should be, the freezer is frigid and dry. The ice does not fuse together. This is testament to how cold it is in that freezer. In the refrigerated compartment below the freezer I've noticed that lettuce is lasting a lot longer than with the outgoing refrigerator. We now have plenty of ice here where the weather has remained warm and ice demand has kept pace with summer. The GE GTH18GBDERWW is a remarkable refrigerator 11 years from its origin. The original owner took excellent care of it and it shows. I'd contemplated getting a brand new refrigerator and while this may still happen, it would now seem some years off.
Main complaint is the horrible noise that sounds like an airboat. I suspected that it was because it wasnt exactly level so recently pulled it from the wall and discovered that there are no level adjustments in the rear. The front has foot adjustments but if you adjust them to where the frig is off the rollers, it actually makes the level worse, so therefore cannot level it. I am going today to get another piece of wood to roll the back wheels upon so that the front can be leveled. I think this has to be perfectly level to reduce noise and the design flaw in levels prevents doing so. Now on to the handles which have broken TWICE already. I see the same complaint from other reviewers. I refuse to buy again, since they will break again. My son super glued the handle together on the last break and seems to be holding ok. Also no dual temperature controls. The frig came with my house when I bought it. Would never buy this again and actually cant wait to be in a position to purchase different one. It will NOT be this model and I'll know what to look for in the next one and if GE has not remedied these issues it will not be a GE.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
