Reviews
Easy to install
I am very happy with how this purchase turned out. First, I used to on-line chat to verify the part number I needed and the person I spoke with was able to apply a discount to my order. The part arrived within a couple of days, and was very easy to put on the door. Initially it did not seem to seal properly, but after only a few hours the rubber had taken on the correct shape and was sealing well. All around good experience

Gasket
It was very easy to install. I am pleased to find what I needed for an older model of refrigerator. Cheaper than a new refrigerator.

Gasket does not work
Easy to install, but gasket does not seal freezer shut (unless mine was defective),....compared magnet on original gasket to be replaced and it was stronger than the new one that was received. This was a total waste of my time and now I have to ship it back for a refund. I had also purchased a new freezer door handle, it cracked within 2 months while the original lasted for over 10 years. Thus far I would have to say your replacement parks are junk based on my experience.

Very easy to do
Very easy repair. It would be nice if they would ship it flat in the box and not twisted it makes it hard to seal without taking a hair dryer to straighten it out or put the gasket in the sink with hot water.

Very easy to install
The old gasket came off with just a pull, and inserting the new gasket was a breeze. Just slip the flanged edge into the slot in the door, and press down firmly with your fingers. Of course you must remove the door first. My old gasket was leaking, but no leaks with the new one.
