I inspected the gasket--I don't see any cracks or irregularities; it still looks brand new. Just to get out of the way-- there is nothing obstructing the door and the surfaces of the gasket and the metal frame of the fridge are clean. Could this be anything other than the gasket?

The door rides on the cams so that it is on a down slope of the cams when closed holding it shut. Check that the gasket is not catching on the hinge side of the door. A light coat of vaseline/ white grease on the frame here will prevent this.
