how to check and identify a six-clip oven door seal
check a split, flattened or loose oven seal against every fixing position before selecting a replacement. the 754131050 / 754130967 format is one pre-formed four-sided seal with six retaining clips.
its relaxed size is about 745 x 340 mm; a cooker being 90 cm wide does not identify it. these checks do not explain releasing the old clips or fitting the replacement.

scope: follow the exact model's seal-fitting instructions. if the heavy door needs removing, arrange suitable help; do not force clips or relocate them to different holes.
diy warning
working on appliances can involve mains electricity, water and moving parts. always disconnect power and water before you start. in Australia, gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter, and fixed (hard-wired) electrical work by a licensed electrician. everything on this site is guidance only, and any repair you carry out is at your own risk. we are not responsible for any damage or injury caused by attempting a repair. if you are not confident, please use a qualified technician.

steps
- inspect the cold seal
with the cooker off and completely cold, look for splits, flattened rubber and clips that are already loose. check whether the door closes squarely without forcing it.
- match all six positions
check the full model in the compatibility checker and compare all six clip positions and the seal profile. a seven-clip seal is a different format. do not pull out clips just to compare them, stretch the rubber or move clips into other holes.
- check the access instructions
obtain the exact model's seal-removal and fitting instructions or ask a suitable repairer. the release direction is not provided here. if the heavy door needs lifting off, arrange suitable help; this is not a door-removal guide.
- keep the closure checks
after any properly completed change, all six clips must stay in position and the seal must sit evenly without twists. do not use a seal that bunches or stops the door closing squarely.
