Carol F Martell , NE November 07, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Electric Range JKS05P1 The door seal was brittle and cracked so the oven leaked hot air First, the reader should know that the oven is a GE wall oven, model JKS05P1 and it was 22 years old when I made the repair. I bought the door seal from Appliance Parts Pros so used the directions in the Q&A for this part. I loosened the screws as directed, but the old seal wouldn't budge. I searched online for other directions and discovered the screws needed to come out and the inner-liner needed to be pulled forward just a bit. This relieved pressure on the old seal and it was then easy to remove. The new seal slid in easily. I pushed the inner-liner back and replaced the screws.

Diane H Germantown , TN July 05, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Electric Range JKP27WW2WW Old seal broken heating element about to burn through To fix the seal, took out 5 screws around the inside front of the oven. Lowered broiler heating element from hanging hooks that held it up, and pulled the inner metal shell outwards about 1/4 of an inch or 3/8 inch. (It helps you pull the shell forwards if the hooks holding the broiler element are not holding it back.) Slid out the old seal and put in new one. The thicker edge of the seal is what gets trapped between the two metal shells, and the flexible, curved part sticks out. Push shell back, put screws back in, then put broiler element back on its hooks. EASY. To change bake heating element DISCONNECT POWER (either unplug or flip circuit breakers off. If your oven is hard wired in, you MUST use circuit breaker or fuse to make this safe.) Remove (2) bolts. Disconnect (2) wire connectors - be sure to hold each wire/gently bend so that it doesn't get lost behind the back wall. To install, re-crimp wire connectors to prevent sloppy contact with heating element, then re-install (2) connectors. Re-install (2) bolts. Put power back on. There are good videos online that demonstrate this. Read More... 6 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers, Wrench Set
