Description

A replacement oven door seal that restores a tight gasket between the oven and door. It helps prevent heat loss, reduce uneven cooking and keep the exterior cooler for safer, more consistent results. What it does:

• Creates an airtight seal between the oven cavity and door to reduce heat escape.
• Helps maintain stable cooking temperatures to minimize hot spots and uneven baking.
• Stops smoke or fumes from leaking around the door during use.
• Visible signs of failure include tears, compressed or brittle material, and gaps along the door edge.

What's included: One door seal. Install notes:

• Disconnect power (or gas supply) and allow the oven to fully cool before starting work.
• Handle the gasket gently to avoid tearing; align and seat it into the door channel per the OEM pattern.
• Some models require removing the oven door or retaining clips — keep and reuse any factory fasteners when possible.
• Refer to the appliance's OEM service instructions for model-specific removal and reinstallation guidance.
