Re: I need an Imperial freezer gasket for model...
I have the same model number and my freezer completely defrosted and won' freeze. I assume I have a leek and all the freon (correct spelling) has leaked out any suggestions? My email is [email protected].

If it was a fuse, it would blow and not run again. They do have a device called a 'clixon' that senses overheating. It could also be a faulty Run Capacitor. There is a relay for the compressor according to this.

It sounds like you may be on the right track here. If the gasket is old, hard, and brittle, it will allow moisture to be administered into the freezer, causing frost buildup. Not to mention, that old door gasket is leaking out a lot of cold air. Your best bet is to provide the model number (as you've shown here) and the serial number to an appliance parts store or authorized GE appliance parts outlet. They should be able to provide you with a brand new gasket. Removal and re-installation of the new gasket is fairly simple and you'll notice a big difference, not only in the lack of frost buildup on the inside of the freezer (especially in the summer) but you may even see a noted improvement on your electric bill as well!
I hope this helps and let me know if you need any further assistance! :)
before i would replace the freezer i would make sure the drain is open ,,, the drain is at the bottom in the back of the inside of your freezer and if it freezes up the water builds and cut down the cooling ,,, that is where i would look first. Larry
