I am looking at purchasing some aftermarket seal to place in addition to the original seal. The door does not look adjustable.
Is there any advice on what type of seal ti purchase?
Thanks!

When the door is open, it looks to me as though the actual freezer top has a it bit of a upward bow in it, which I believe is not allowing it get a nice seal on it.
I'll try to report back with any items that are a success (or not).

Make sure you clean both the gasket and door area good with alcohol and dry good so the adhesive on the magnetic strip will adhere good.

Open the refrigerator door, gently apply heat to seal and lightly pull seal to make it stick out further. Or remove screws that hold the refrigerator in and slide the fridge out enough so you can see the seal against the fridge. Open the door slightly to the point you can see the magnet being attracted to the cabinet metal, but leave a gap. Heat to seal enough until you see the magnet pulling itself against the cabinet. Hold the door in that position until the seal cools a bit.
I can't stress enough not to overheat the seal to the point of melting or burning a hole in it.
A coating of silicon lubricant or petroleum jelly rubbed on the gasket and magnet portion will help to maintain the pliability and sealing capability.

Interesting question that I never thought to ask:).
I just go to pretty much any hardware or big box store and purchase refrigerator gasket in the length I need. Sometimes it's sold in a kit other times in lengths. Get a few inches more than the exact measurement so you can get around the corners w/ ease.
HTH.
ETA: Yes, do replace the entire door's gasket. If nothing else it'll save you from doing the job again for a bit of time.
