This oven door gasket restores a tight seal between the door and the oven front frame. A proper seal reduces heat loss, supports accurate temperatures, and helps food bake and roast more evenly.

• Creates a heat-resistant seal at the door-to-cavity opening to contain heat and airflow
• Helps maintain stable oven temperatures and normal preheat times
• Replace if the seal is torn, frayed, brittle, flattened, burned, or leaking
• Helps resolve heat escaping around the door, uneven baking, or longer cook times

• Disconnect power; for gas appliances, also shut off gas. Allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove the old gasket by releasing end retainers or pulling it from the channel; clean the groove
• Install the new gasket without stretching; seat it evenly around the perimeter with corners aligned
• Close the door and check for uniform contact all around; adjust as needed per your model instructions
