Simple Question: Top Mounted Freezer Gasket Repair

My top mounted freezer – Frigidaire PHT219HKM5 – has been gathering condensation slowly. Icicles and excess ice have been showing up over the past few weeks. After closer inspection, the gasket has pulled away from the freezer along the top causing a pocket which outside air can flow. The gasket is otherwise intact apart from this 2-3 inch pocket.

I have tracked down the part through this site and inspected my current gasket. It appears there are NO screws keeping the current gasket in place. I simply need confirmation that I am not missing something or that I don’t need some adhesive to attach the new gasket? I don’t want to tear off the old one and have the new one in hand only to find I am missing some component i wasn’t aware of … because certain people co-habitating with me would not be pleased.

Any information provided would be greatly appreciated! The sooner the better as our freezer is developing some nasty stalactites.

so, i don’t think the gasket was the problem to the begin with. after installing the new gasket successfully this afternoon, there was still a pocket after shutting the freezer normally. stepping back, i noticed the freezer door is not shutting level. the handle side is showing a slight dip from where the hinge side sits.

forcibly lifting the handle side while shutting seems to be a temporary solution, but i don’t want to rely on that and am unsure whether it will continue to work over hours, nights or days.

what do i need to consider looking at now to get my freezer shutting level?
