This door seal replaces a worn or damaged gasket around the oven door, creating a tight barrier between the door and the front frame. A fresh seal helps the appliance heat efficiently and maintain steady cooking temperatures. What it does:
- Seals the gap between the door and oven frame to minimize heat loss
- Helps the oven preheat faster and hold set temperatures more consistently
- Replace if the gasket is torn, brittle, flattened, or frayed
- Common signs include heat escaping around the door edge and longer cook times
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power and allow the oven to cool completely before beginning
- Open the door and carefully remove the old seal, noting its routing and attachment points
- Clean the mating surface to remove debris for a proper seal
- Install the new seal evenly without stretching; ensure all ends and anchors are fully seated

Door seal on our 15 yr old dryer was worn out M R. • Essex , NY • October 16, 2016
Found the right part at AppliancePartsPros.com, ordered the part, watched the tutorial. Took less than 5 minutes to install new door seal, and now our laundry area is no longer hot and humid. Before we changed the seal, warm air was leaking around the door and made the laundry room and the kitchen next to it unpleasant. Thanks for the great door seal and the handy tutorial!
