our 12 yo Therma KBUDT4270A02 needs both door gaskets replaced.  They are split and damage.  It doesn'r fail the $ bill test, but they ain't exactly what I would term a good seal.
The fridge was done once about 6 year ago by a tech.  I didn't look like fun and even he, experienced as he was, was a little dissatisfied with the job.  So I'm thinking DIY this time, how much worse can it be as long as I remain calm and keep my dictionary of 4 letter words available.

Am I crazy, or give it ago.  Otherwise the beast seems to be in good shape, not huffing and/or puffing or flooding on a weekly basis.  Keeps pretty cold, but sweated badly this past summer.  Winter it does fine.  The house isn't AC'd all summer long. I clean the coils every 6 months

Those gaskets will definately bring out the worst in a guy. If you're fairly handy it's worth a shot. You'll want to soften the gaskets first in a tub of warm water or a short few minutes in the dryer to help get rid of wrinkles. After you install them, use a heat gun on low setting or hair dryer to smooth out the wrinkles and get the gasket formed to the cabinet. Keep the gun moving or you'll melt them in a heartbeat. 

After trying your hand at it you'll think you landed in purgatory and will gladly pay whatever an experienced tech will ask to have it done by someone else...
