Hmm maybe this one will be the right part

The first gasket seal I received is for a shorter freezer but the website said this is the one I needed so I was mailed the wrong size I have to wait another week to get hopefully the right size this time they are saying it will be right this time.

Not too bad to install, one issue
November 16, 2020

Wasn't too bad to install, shoulda had a helper! But several holes in the gasket did not line up with the inner liner. I managed, but for over $100 after shipping I woulda expected better.

gasket is deformed and does not form tight seal
October 23, 2020

This was fairly easy to install and I had unpackaged it several days ahead of time to relax the crimps. I also applied a hairdryer on low to warm up the rubber in advance of installation. Nevertheless, edges of the gasket that meet the bottom of freezer are wavy/deformed and do not form tight seal.

Biggest hassle was removing the plastic clips
September 10, 2019

The installation was straightforward. However, it was difficult to get the kinks out of the gasket. I hope it makes a good seal anyway.
