Answer Jerome, It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong "what did I do wrong? HELP" You do want to check and make sure the freezer is properly leveled and sitting on all four of the leveling feet. Check that the new door gasket is sealing to the front frame of the freezer, all the way around the opening, especially the bottom of the door. Make sure the interior light goes out when the door is closed. Your freezer has a static condenser, so make sure to allow space around the unit for good air circulation, especially the back. A warm cabinet across the top and down the sides of the cabinet opening is normal, this would be the "Yoder Lood" dissipating the heat from the refrigerant and warming the front flange area of the cabinet to reduce the moisture and condensation that may acumulate around the opening and door seal.
