How to replace a Magic Chef chest freezer lid gasket

• Unplug the freezer or shut off the circuit breaker for the freezer. Safely store any food that could deteriorate while the freezer is shut off for this repair.
• Soak the new gasket in warm water to smooth out the creases created during shipment. You can also use a heat gun or hair dryer on a low heat setting to remove creases in the gasket.
• Raise the freezer lid. Fold the inside lip of the gasket back to access the screws and clips that secure the gasket to the freezer lid. Remove the screws from the gasket. Use a slot screwdriver to pry the plastic clips out of the gasket. Pull the gasket and inner lid liner off of the outer lid panel. Remove the gasket from the inner lid liner.
• Position the new gasket around the inner lid liner. Position the inner lid liner and the gasket on the outer lid panel and line up the mounting holes. Reinstall the screws and clips to secure the new gasket and inner lid liner to the outer lid panel.
• Lower the lid and check the new gasket for a proper seal. You should not see any gaps between the lid gasket and the top edge of the freezer cabinet when the lid is shut.
• Plug in the freezer to restore electrical power.
