Customer Questions and Answers for Door Seal (Oven) by Bosch

This door seal restores a tight barrier between the oven door and cavity. Replacing a worn gasket helps your oven reach and hold temperature, reduces heat escaping at the door edges, and supports more consistent baking and roasting results.

• Creates a heat-resistant seal around the oven opening
• Helps the oven preheat and maintain set temperature
• Limits heat, steam, and odors from escaping at the door
• Typical signs it needs replacement: visible tears or flattening, heat felt around the door, longer preheat/cook times, or uneven baking

• Disconnect power at the breaker and let the oven cool completely
• Open the door, pull the old seal from its channel, and clean the groove
• Press the new seal evenly into the channel without stretching; ensure corners seat fully
• Close the door to verify uniform contact all around and adjust as needed
