This oven door gasket creates a tight seal around the oven door to help keep heat, smoke and cooking odors inside the oven for more even baking and efficient operation. Replaces a worn, torn or flattened seal. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the oven door and frame to reduce heat loss and improve temperature consistency
• Helps prevent spills and food debris from entering the oven cavity and insulation
• Reduces oven cycling and energy waste caused by a damaged or compressed seal
• Common symptom: oven takes longer to reach or maintain temperature, or heat felt around the door

• Allow oven to fully cool and disconnect power before replacing the gasket
• Remove the old gasket carefully and press the new gasket into the door channel evenly around the perimeter
• Check that the gasket lies flat with no twists or gaps; do not over-stretch during installation

The Alumilastic Cement is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, typically used in refrigerators and freezers. It serves as a thermal mastic compound, designed to provide a secure and heat-conductive bond between various components, such as evaporator coils and the interior walls of the appliance. 

Causes of a bad alumilastic cement can include drying out, cracking, or losing its adhesive properties over time. This can occur due to age, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or improper application. When the cement fails, it can lead to poor thermal conductivity and decreased cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad alumilastic cement include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises from the cooling system
• Components becoming loose or detaching
• Increased energy consumption

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
