steps
- check the cold oven
with the oven off and fully cold, look for tears and note the joint position without pulling out the seal. do not move a connected cooker.
- leave the oven off
do not use the oven while the damaged seal awaits repair. do not cut, glue or stretch a seal to fill a gap.
- show the repairer
check the full model in the compatibility checker and its service instructions. give the repairer the model and photos showing the whole seal and all seven fixing points. KP9F96S(X)/AUS and EG900X require service for this job.
- have the seal fitted
ask the repairer to keep the original joint arrangement and fit the seal without twists. they should check that the door closes squarely after fitting.
