GE JSP39SN4SS Door Seal Replacement

Introdução

Use this guide to replace a damaged oven seal/gasket on the GE® 30" Slide-In Electric Range with Self-Cleaning Oven (model # JSP39SN4SS)

The oven door seal keeps hot air from escaping the oven into the household. A damaged seal makes the oven inefficient and waste energy. Also, it may lead to undercooked foods due to the oven losing the ability to maintain high temperatures, posing a health issue to users.

Therefore, a good repair guide is necessary to keep consumers safe from faulty equipment and themselves.

This process will involve removing the door to the oven, removing and replacing the seal, then reattaching the door.
