RCA oven door gasket is torn, flattened, or heat is escaping around the door, causing hot cabinet surfaces.

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before replacing the gasket.

• Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections around the entire perimeter.
• Remove old gasket: Gently pull the oven door gasket out of its retaining channel, noting how it is routed.
• Clean channel: Wipe the channel clean of debris and residue.
• Install new gasket: Press the new gasket into the channel, ensuring corners are fully seated and the gasket is not twisted.
• Check door alignment: Close the door and verify even contact all around. Adjust hinges if necessary.
