The Foam Tape is an OEM part for GE gas ranges. It serves as a sealant, ensuring a proper fit and preventing the escape of heat and gases from the range. This tape helps maintain the efficiency of the range by providing an airtight seal around various components.

Symptoms of a bad Foam Tape include:
- Heat escaping from the range
- Gas odors near the appliance
- Visible wear or gaps in the seal
- Decreased cooking efficiency
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
