Hoover oven door seal is damaged or heat escapes around the door, causing long cooking times and hot cabinet fronts.

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

• Inspect gasket:
  • Check the entire perimeter of the seal for splits, burns, or missing sections.
  • Ensure the seal sits evenly in its retaining holes or clips.
• Replace gasket:
  • Pull the old gasket out of its corner holes or clips.
  • Clean the channel with a damp cloth.
  • Fit a new Hoover-compatible door gasket, starting at the corners and pressing the retaining pins firmly into place.
• Check door alignment:
  • Close the door and check for even contact all around.
  • If gaps remain, inspect and adjust hinges as necessary.
