I wanted to report back that the repair is done. In watching a Youtube video, I saw where they scraped the head gasket off w/ a puddy knife and didn't do further clean up. I went further as you suggested and it was amazing how much more gasket material came off. Thank you, thank you. I'm much more confident that the repair will last. I would go poor doing these for a living as it took over 5 hours. I felt that I had to remove the exhaust pipes even with it having bolts that held the head down. The gasket blew out in between a small hole that went through the head and the large cylinder hole. I see that the gasket is mad differently now so I would hope it is meant to last. I winged it on one part where the instructions said to install the gasket with the numbers up. I assumed that it meant towards the head and that maybe the instructions were meant for the side shaft models that the heads are on top. Did I do good? Thanks again everyone for your support.

I replaced on e about 10 years ago on a GE top freezer model. It was tedious, but not difficult. It took about 2 hours, but that was including the removal of the old one, reading the directions and really taking my time to be sure the new one was installed properly. You can always attempt it and if you are unsuccessful, call the repair person. It is easier if the doors are empty and the fridge is at least partially empty as it takes so long. G

They should overlap so the water stays inside. I would clean it, then it dry, then caulk it with something flexible that works with the material the unit is made of.

In my 632, the door seals are kept warm by SZ routing the hot refrigerant lines inside the frame (opposite the seals). Normally one doesn't notice that the seals or frame are particularly warm. When my condenser coil fan started having trouble starting, the refrigerant started getting very hot, and it was obvious at the door that something was amiss. Under those conditions -- inadequate refrigerant cooling -- the refrigerator cannot easily reach its set temperature. If I left the cover off of the mechanical bay, even a badly operating fan was sufficient to allow the unit to work. However, replacing the fan was essential, and doing so fixed the issue. I assume your tech checked refrigerant pressure or whatever to know that you don't have a leak. If so, then look at the fan and see if it seems to start OK and run at a reasonable speed. Also, with leather gloves for protection, if the fan is off then check it for excess friction. Observe fan duration. If it is on for a very long time then either the refrigeration system lacks efficiency or there is a heat leak into the refrigerator.
