Excessive smoke leaks from door, sides, or top of smoker cabinet.

Safety first: Use heat-resistant gloves when checking for leaks during operation.

Steps:

• With the smoker running, carefully observe where smoke is escaping. Do not place hands near hot surfaces.
• After cooling and unplugging, inspect the door gasket for flat spots, cracks, or missing sections. Replace with a GE Profile-compatible gasket if damaged.
• Check door hinges and latch for play; tighten mounting screws and adjust latch tension so the door pulls firmly against the gasket.
• Inspect cabinet seams and screws; tighten any loose fasteners and reseal gaps with high-temperature sealant if recommended by GE.
