All Jenn-Air ovens have a gasket located on the door jamb, surrounding the oven cavity. The gasket is installed to ensure the oven temperature remains consistent, and that heat does not escape the oven, increasing energy consumption. When the oven door closes, the door rests on and compresses the gasket, ensuring a tight seal of the oven cavity. If the oven gasket becomes worn, you can easily replace it without any tools.
Instructions
1. Turn off the oven breaker in your fuse box to disconnect the power to the oven. Ensure the oven is completely cool prior to servicing. Open the oven door. Locate the end of the gasket at the bottom of the oven cavity.
2. Lift up the end of the gasket, and pull it away from the oven door so the entire gasket follows. Continue to slowly pull the gasket away from the oven. As you pull, the clips attached to the gasket will unclip from the oven, making the gasket removable. Place the end of the new gasket in the location that the end of the old gasket was found.
3. Align the gasket with the gasket grooves on the door jamb, and push the clips on the back of the gasket into the holes on the outer oven wall. Continue until the gasket wraps around the oven and ends at the bottom. If necessary, trim any excess gasket with a pair of scissors. Close the oven door to complete the installation.
