IMPORTANT!!! The gasket may not seal well (mine didn?t for about 25% of the door), so I tried to use a hair dryer to warm up the gasket where the seal was poor as internet comments suggested with a small improvement. As other internet comments suggested, I highly recommend putting the gasket in the dryer for 10 minutes before installation to soften up the gasket enough and allow the air-filled pocket in the gasket to expand and then seal properly! Since this gasket wraps around the plastic shell for the inner door shelves, I highly recommend emptying all the shelves on the door, removing the door, and laying the door flat to remove the screws (~24), remove the old gasket, install the new gasket and re-securing all the screws. Doing this while vertical can be very challenging. Also, save your back and lay the door on a work bench or some other elevated surface. I used two stacks of rectangular plastic storage containers which worked well.
