frost and ice build up/ gasket wasnt sealing properly
I did watch a repair a utube video which I asked for when ordering. Pretty much followed most of the directions but:
started in left corner an lossed all screws from left to right. took off old gasket in small sections and inserted the new gasket and semi tighten screws
proceeded down left side then right little by little as above. to get to bottom of door.
bottom corners were a little snug to get them into place. the last corner was snug but once connected. tighten screws not too tight. You dont want to strip them.
test door with piece of paper.
if paper is not a snug tug, you can adjust gasket with a hair dryer set to low.
it was easy. freezer is all set.
Partselect was great to deal with, support verified the part number was correct for my freezer and help with that video.

Defrost Timer
The old defrost timer started making a screeching noise (probably bearings going out). The replacement part was a cinch to install. When I initially spoke to a PartsSelect person, they said the part number I gave them was not consistent with my old '94 Tappan Freezer. They were able to still find the proper replacement part number. The video that was on-line helpful also.

Piece broken off of drawer slide
I removed the screws and replace the broken slide with the new slide. Put the basket drawer back on the track and it now stays in place and can easily be used once again.

Copper lines leaking freon
Removed the inside evaporator coil to do inside solder job, use torch to heat solder joints on the outside drier in order to remove it and install new drier. Soldered Heat exchanger line to drier and 1/4” copper line to compressor. Wrapped with new insulation wrap. Pulled a vacuum on system and then charged with 4.4 ounces of 134a freon. Works like a champ again!

Door alarm going off indicating door ajar
This did not fix the problem. Call a repairman and he cannot come until 9/11. Food is staying frozen. Alarm sounds for awhile and then shuts off for a bit.

No problems
It went exactly like your on line video. It took longer to defrost the freeze than it did to make the parts change out.

Freezer not cooling due to icing up of coil.
The timer in this older unit is clearly exposed at the back of the freezer underneath the freezer compartment. It is attached with two Phillips head screws. After the screws are removed, the timer can be unplugged and the new one plugged in. The new timer has an extra flange to allow it to be used on more than one model of freezer. In order to mount the timer in this unit, you have to remove the extra flange by carefully cutting it away from the timer body, in similar fashion to what's depicted in the online video. This will allow you to mount the new timer to the mounting plate using the two screws from the old timer.
