Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Door Gasket by Ge

This oven door gasket seals the perimeter of the door to keep heat inside the cavity. Replacing a worn seal helps maintain consistent temperatures and proper preheat, improving baking performance and preventing heat from leaking around the door.

• Creates a heat-resistant seal between the oven door and front frame
• Helps maintain set temperature and stable preheat times
• Reduces heat loss and air leaks around the door
• Common symptoms: visible tears or fraying, flattened/hardened gasket, gaps around the door, longer preheat or cook times

• Disconnect power or gas and allow the oven to cool completely before starting.
• Open the door and carefully remove the old gasket; note the orientation of ends/clips for reinstallation.
• Clean the gasket channel/retainer of debris for a proper fit.
• Install without stretching; seat corners fully and ensure the ends meet snugly for a continuous seal.
