How can I fix my frosty freezer and tighten the refridgerator seal?

This is for an Armana freezer on the bottom unit.
The seal on the freezer looks malformed and it is taking on frost more and more each day and now the refridgerator seal doesn't feel as tight as it used to be (we have to push it in twice)?

I have have had similar problems with past refridgerators, a warpage in the fridgerator or freezer door and or damaged seal can cause frost to form on evaporator coils and travel to interior of fridge. Here's what you do check your fridge and freezer doors for warpage, if any flex back into shape till straight, see if this fixes problem if not open refidge door grasp a small area of door gasket and peel from outside in check under gasket to see there are any retaining screws if so loosen but do not remove them, if no screws your refridge gasket can be remove by pulling from one corner on down till completly off. to install do reverse of removal. BUT BEFORE REMOVING BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE MAKE AND MODEL # OF FRIDGE AND HAVE ORDERED AND RECEIVED CORRECT GASKET BEFORE ANY REMOVAL, HOPE THIS IS OF SOME HELP TO YOU, WORK SAFE UNPLUG REFRIDGE.
