Cooktop Assembly - GE Profile PB975 Technical Service Manual

Door Gaskets
The gasket forms a complete seal around the front
edge of the oven liner and the inner door panel. The
door gasket is attached to the inner door panel by
spring clips. When removing the gasket, pull the
ends of the gasket out of the slots at the bottom
of the door. Place a fi nger under the gasket beside
each clip and pull straight up.
When installing the door gasket, it is helpful to fold
the gasket in half and locate the center clip. Insert
the clip at the top of the door and work your way
around the door.
Make sure the gasket is cross tucked in the
bottom slots of the inner door panel. Use a small
screwdriver to tuck the loose ends of the gasket into
the slots. The overlap is required to ensure a proper
door seal.
