Heat near a normal oven vent is not proof of a bad door seal.
Heat near a normal oven vent is not proof of a bad door seal. A visible gap or uneven door closure needs its own check.
Tell us where the gap or heat is and whether the door was removed, hit or moved recently.
Let the oven cool before checking visible damage. Do not force hinges or attach a homemade seal.
We check the door fit and source of heat loss before recommending a gasket. A new seal will not fix every alignment problem.
With the oven off and cool, photograph a visible gap or damaged seal and report whether the door sits unevenly. Mention recent hinge or door work. Do not stretch a seal, force the door or use the oven to test an obvious gap before assessment.
Send the full model number, the symptom and any displayed code when you request a visit. The $49 service call is applied toward the repair; confirm the full quote before authorizing work. See the repair cost guide for questions to ask.
