AGA oven leaking heat and steam around the door; condensation on surrounding cabinetry.

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before touching the door seal.

• Inspect gasket: Run your fingers around the entire seal to feel for gaps, tears, or hardened sections.
• Check retention: Ensure the gasket is properly seated in its channel or on its hooks. Refit any loose sections.
• Paper test: Close the door on a strip of paper at various points. If the paper pulls out easily without resistance, the seal is not tight in that area.
• Replace gasket: Remove the old seal by pulling it out of the channel or off the hooks. Clean the channel and fit a new AGA-specific door gasket, pressing it fully into place.
• Verify door alignment: If leaks persist with a new seal, check and adjust hinges to ensure even pressure around the door.
