Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Door Gasket by Whirlpool

This oven door gasket forms the heat-resistant seal between the door and oven cavity. Replacing a worn seal helps the oven reach and maintain temperature, reduces heat loss around the door, and supports even, consistent baking performance.

• Creates a continuous seal between the oven door and frame to contain heat and moisture
• Helps maintain accurate temperatures and normal preheat times
• Replaces torn, frayed, flattened, or brittle seals that allow heat to escape
• Common symptoms include hot air leaking near the door, uneven baking, and longer cook times

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely before servicing
• Open the door and remove the old gasket, noting clip/pin locations and orientation
• Press the new gasket evenly into the retaining channel or holes; do not stretch the seal
• Close the door and verify uniform contact around the frame for a snug seal
