Heat escaping around oven door, steam from sides, uneven cooking

Safety: Allow the oven to cool and isolate from mains before replacing the seal.

• Inspect seal: Check the rubber gasket around the door or cavity for splits, hardening, or missing sections.
• Remove old seal: On clip‑in seals, pull the seal away from the cavity, noting the position of corner clips. On some models, screws hold the seal in place.
• Clean groove: Wipe the channel where the seal sits to remove grease and debris.
• Fit new seal: Install a genuine New World door seal, starting at the corners and ensuring all clips or screws are correctly seated.
• Check closure: Close the door and verify even contact all around.
