Once we installed the new freezer gasket, we could not tell if the very inside edge of the gasket is to lay flat or fold back under. Laying flat seems it might help seal the door to the freezer body but it is so flimsy some of the edge wants to fold under thus, some flat and some puckered under not making a good seal and possibly keeping the door from making a good seal. So, lay flat or allow to fold under! (The edge I'm referring to is the very inner flange you need to first get hold of to lift the gasket out to expose the screws. Thin & flimsy.)

Removing the freezer door inside panel was straightforward, though it was not too easy to access the lower row of screws since they were close to floor level. There was a lot of ice buildup in the insulation of the panel, and I had to wait overnight for it to melt and then had to dry the insulation in a drier. Attaching the new gasket to
... Read morethe panel did not require heating it to shape, and the seal is good. Reattaching the panel to the door was the hardest part, and I made the mistake of tightening screws before they were all in.
My wife and I did not take the door off, but we taped a 24"x32" piece of insulating foam over the opening, so our food would stay cold. We removed all the screws holding the inner liner on, and took off the old gasket. As others have noted, there was ice on the lower half of the fiberglass insulation that's in the slot going around the ou

Read moretside of the inner liner, so we carefully pried out the ice (using a hairdryer to melt a stubborn section), then cut a 4" wide strip of fiberglass insulation and tucked it in the slot to replace the part we removed. Then we carefully stretched the new gasket around the inner liner, making sure the edge of the liner "snapped" into the inner slot of the gasket. Finally, we carefully held the inner liner up to the door, inserted three screws part way in to keep it aligned, then installed all the rest of the screws and tightened them, making sure the gasket didn't slide off. Then we removed the foam from the opening and closed the door. It has a good seal all the way around.
water leaking from old split gasket where ice formed then melted
we did not take door off as some suggested, but could see how that would help....we defrosted, then followed the following YouTube excellent directions with complication of a very rusted screw which we torqued out with a vice grip after applying Liquid Wrench
