What should I do if the oven door seal is aging?

The aging of oven door seals can lead to heat loss, reduced cooking efficiency, and energy waste. Here are several methods for dealing with the aging of oven door seals:
1. Check the degree of damage to the sealing strip
Observe whether the sealing strip has cracks, deformations, or looseness. If the sealing strip has visibly aged or damaged, it is recommended to replace it in a timely manner.
2. Steps for replacing the sealing strip
Dismantle the old sealing strip
Turn off the oven and unplug the power plug to ensure safety.
Pull the old sealing strip out of the groove. If the sealing strip is fixed with screws, the screws need to be unscrewed first.
Clean installation slot
Clean the installation groove of the sealing strip with a mild cleaner and a damp cloth to remove residual glue, grease, and dust.
Install a new sealing strip
Choose a high-temperature resistant sealing strip suitable for the oven model.
Starting from the top of the door frame, install the sealing strip downwards along the side, ensuring that the sealing strip is firmly attached to the groove.
Fixed sealing strip
If necessary, use specialized high-temperature resistant glue or sealant to fix the sealing strip and ensure that it fits tightly with the oven door.
Check the installation effect
After installation, close the oven door and check if the sealing strip is fully attached and there are no gaps.
3. Daily maintenance suggestions
Regular inspection: Regularly check the condition of the sealing strip, promptly identify and repair problems, and avoid further damage.
Cleaning and maintenance: After each use, wipe the oven door and sealing strip with a damp cloth to avoid the accumulation of grease and dirt.
Avoid high temperature impact: Avoid sudden cooling of the oven at high temperatures to prevent accelerated aging of the sealing strip due to thermal expansion and contraction.
If you are not confident about replacing the sealing strip, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel for operation to ensure safety and effectiveness.
