The gasket size was perfect. Problem was it didn't seal the whole door properly, thus I'm getting evaporation.

k. We thawed the whole mess. and the freezer has worked fine ever since. I think my habit of getting ice cubes from the inside container rather than from the ice cube dispenser, had kep t the freezer door open too much, interfering with the normal defrost cycle and allowing ice to build up over time so that it finally defeated the system. My new rule, "get ice cubes only from the front."

I did not remove the door from the fridge deciding to replace the gasket while the door was still attached. Next time I will follow their suggestion to remove the door and lay it down. I didn't realize that when you take the screws out (And there are A LOT of screws!) the whole panel comes off the door. It also took a long time to clean t

he door and panel with years of dirt/mildew to deal with. I had a hard time trying to get the kinks out with a hair dryer, didn't seem to work. Putting the new one on and screwing it back in place was pretty easy (would have been easier if it was laying flat). There are a couple of places where the seal is not perfect because of the kinks, but not going to worry about that.

1) I took everything off the door.
2) I removed the door from the bottom because it was easiest doing it from the bottom
3) I layed the door on the table and proceeded to unscrew the panel that holds things

6) I made sure it was all dry and I fitted the new gasket on the door and put the panel making sure it fit around the panel
7) I began replacing the screws starting at the second screw from the corner and I did all 4 corners then I proceeded to screw the screws further into the corner and finally screwed all the rest of the screws.
8) put the door back on the refrigerator.
Now be patient because at first when closing the door there are sections that you have to push on to make it seal and this can happens for about a week. But finally it seals.

After popping off the lower cover all I needed was a screwdriver to remove both the upper 2 screws and the lower screw. The new handle was attached in seconds and it matches great.
