Parts for Maytag CWE502: 04 - Door-Upper (Cwe502) Parts

This horizontal oven door seal lines the top and bottom edges of the door opening to keep heat contained inside the cavity. Replacing a worn seal restores stable temperatures, more efficient preheating, and consistent baking results.

• Seals the oven opening along the top and bottom edges to reduce heat loss
• Helps maintain set temperature and overall cooking performance
• Replaces cracked, frayed, flattened, or brittle horizontal gasket
• Common signs include visible gaps, heat escaping around the door, longer preheat times, and temperature fluctuations

• Disconnect power and allow the oven to cool completely before servicing
• Open the door and carefully pull the old seal straight out of the retainer
• Note clip/retainer positions as you remove the old seal and reuse them as designed
• Press the new seal evenly into place without stretching; ensure corners are fully seated for a uniform seal

This factory fastener secures panels, trim, or brackets on your appliance. Replacing a missing or stripped screw restores a snug, rattle-free fit and keeps components aligned for proper operation and a clean, finished appearance.

• Fastens exterior panels, trim pieces, or internal brackets to the appliance chassis
• Replaces lost, damaged, or stripped hardware
• Helps prevent vibration, rattling, and gaps between parts
• Common signs you need this screw: missing hardware, loose or misaligned panel/trim, stripped head or threads

• Disconnect power before servicing; also shut off the gas supply
• Use the correct driver; start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or cracking adjacent parts
• Repair or replace the mounting point before installing

This seal strip replaces a worn or damaged door gasket edge to restore a proper seal and help the appliance maintain temperature and operate quietly. It's a direct-fit service part used where a continuous seal is required. What it does:

• Provides a flexible barrier along the door/frame to reduce air leaks and heat/cold loss
• Helps prevent moisture buildup and improves energy efficiency when sealing is restored
• Reduces rattling and vibration caused by a compressed or torn seal edge
• Commonly replaced when the strip is torn, missing, or no longer adheres properly

• One seal strip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical or burn hazards
• Clean and dry the mounting surface; remove old adhesive or residue for best adhesion
• Align the strip carefully and press firmly; allow any adhesive to cure per manufacturer instructions
