Saved Me Hundreds of $$$ - It's SO Worth It!
I bought my huge upright freezer in 2012 for over $1,000 - and I bought it used. After some research, I found out my freezer was made in 2006, and isn't even made anymore.My freezer has had major ice build up on the top shelf for the last year or so, and anything that's in the door thaws. I've lost so many groceries already because of this. I have three teenage boys and a husband to feed, so groceries are too expensive (and hard to find!) to keep losing. My house fridge/freezer just isn't big enough to store enough groceries for even a week, so I have to keep a freezer going.I spent the better part of a Saturday morning shopping for a new freezer...only to learn that COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on yet another "non-essential" business, and no one has freezers until "maybe November", or even next year. Ugh. Looks like time to repair this poor freezer.After thoroughly reading the reviews, I decided to take the plunge and order this gasket. When I got the gasket, it was in a huge box, packed very well. I did notice one corner of the gasket wasn't quite sealed (meaning a tear about 1/4" long), but after deciding it's got to be better than what's on my freezer, I went ahead and laid the gasket out on the living room floor. It sat in the floor for two days, to warm up a bit, and I was too lazy to put it on the freezer right away. Today, I finally got the blow dryer out, and took maybe 10 minutes to blow hot air onto the gasket, all the way around, which took the last of the wrinkles out of it. One of my sons helped me change out the gasket, as you really need an extra set of hands to juggle everything.We completely cleaned out the freezer, scraped all the ice out (the top shelf was seriously 4" deep in ice), and put the new gasket on. It went on super easy, and honestly fit better than the one I took off. I have two baby-proof latches on my freezer door, as the door wasn't staying shut (that's how bad the old gasket was). After putting the new gasket on, and latching the baby latches, I noticed only one area that was wrinkled/had an indention. I had my son get the blow dryer after it (from reading reviews), and it helped straighten the area really fast. I left the freezer alone for about 3 hours. When I undid the baby latches, the door didn't pop open (yay!), and took some strength to actually open it (that's great!). When I opened the freezer, it was way colder than I've felt it in a while. When I closed the door, you could actually hear air hissing out as it sealed shut (like it did when I first bought it), and I actually don't HAVE to latch the baby latches anymore.Easy fix, so worth the savings, and my freezer is doing better than it has in years!

Great replacement and a perfect fit.
I needed to replace the door gasket as the old one had started to crack and door was not closing properly. No instructions but plenty of online videos and how-to's to help. Best advice was to do the top half of the door first and then move on to the bottom half. I needed to warm up the hinge side to with a blow dryer for a few minutes and then I taped the door shut overnight. Works great and worth the price for the real OEM gasket.

Sealed it up
Very easy install, not sure why people are having issues. I let it lay flat on floor for a couple days until I had time to change. Took door off, laid flat, loosened screws enough to slip old gasket out and worked new one in. Sealed tight immediately.

Didn't fit, very flimsy, and incorrect advice on Amazon site.
I ordered my freezer gasket through Amazon. I took advantage of the sites "confirm" fitment section. I DID EVERYTHING THAT I COULD HAVE TO PURCHASE THE PROPER GASKET. This was supposed to be OEM, but it was anything but OEM. What I received was a flimsy gasket. It was as if they were trying to convince me that a VW was a Mercedes! IT WAS 3/4" OF AN INCH TOO WIDE, and nowhere near the quality of the original. By the way, it was Frigidaire that stipulated that this part would fit. I called Frigidaire and got involved with their "Chat" function. They could not even give me the proper part number. They emailed me the parts manual for my model and I provided it to them. They wanted to sell me a another unit right then, but I passed. They had been wrong too many times in the past. To this point I have 3 1/2 hours on THEIR FAILURE. I also learned that the part number in the parts manual had been superseded by a gasket number that I had purchased for my matching refrigerator, and it was genuine Electrolux(Part of the Frigidaire Family). Amazon is partially at fault. They have permitted to have Frigidaire advertise this gasket as "meeting" OEM specifications. There is no such classification. It is either OEM (produced by Frigidaire) or aftermarket. After so much misinformation, the Frigidaire's final comment was " Sorry for the inconvenience." Take the time and get a free parts manual on line for your model and use its part number for your part.

It fits well and was easy to install
Arrived a day late with no instructions. Only took me about a 1/2 hour to install, so no need to remove food from freezer. Over all a very good product for the price.

Worked Well
This gasket came in a plastic bag and was very wrinkled. I let it sit stretched out on the floor for a couple of weeks and then installed it. I did not remove the freezer door. I removed the screws from the top half of the door, installed the gasket to the top half, and then reinstalled the screws to barely tight. I then did the same process to the bottom half of the door.Once the gasket was completely on the door, I tightened down every other screw and then tightened the remaining screws.Success! The freezer no longer allowed in moisture and frost build up stopped.

No, really, follow all the directions
The product actually worked like a charm. After smartened up and followed all the directions. I watched a Youtube video of how to replace a gasket. I got it on the door and then ignored the part about warming it up with a blow dryer. Door did not seal AT ALL. I gave up and told my wife to call a repairman and have him come replace it. Total defeat. Thankfully she called a guy that was both busy and honest. He told her how to warm it up the gasket with a hair dryer and then tape the door SNUGGLY shut for five days.I literally saw the gasket take the proper shape as I warmed it up. Then I closed the door and leaned on while I taped it shut. Let sit for five days. Removed the tape. Now it's like we have a brand new freezer.Recommend you carefully check your model number before ordering.Good luck!
