Oven door gasket is torn, flattened, or leaking heat; cabinet surfaces around the oven feel excessively hot.

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool completely.

• Inspect gasket: Run your fingers around the entire gasket to feel for hard, brittle, or missing sections.
• Check retention clips: Many BlueStar gaskets are held by clips or a channel. Ensure the gasket is fully seated and not pulled out at corners.
• Replace gasket: Order the correct BlueStar oven door gasket for your model. Remove the old gasket by pulling it out of the channel or releasing clips. Install the new gasket, pressing firmly into place all around.
• Verify seal: Close the door on a sheet of paper at several points around the perimeter. You should feel resistance when pulling the paper out. If not, further hinge adjustment or replacement may be needed.
