The Oven Door Gasket is an OEM part for GE ovens. It creates a seal between the oven door and the oven frame, preventing heat from escaping during cooking. This gasket is essential for maintaining consistent oven temperatures, which ensures even cooking and energy efficiency.
You should replace the oven door gasket if it becomes worn or damaged. Common causes of a bad gasket include repeated exposure to high temperatures, normal wear and tear, or physical damage from cleaning or accidental impacts. A compromised gasket can lead to heat loss, uneven cooking, and increased energy consumption.
Symptoms of a bad oven door gasket include:
- Heat escaping from around the oven door
- Longer cooking times or unevenly cooked food
- Visible cracks, tears, or deformation in the gasket
- The oven door not closing properly
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
