Silicone might not withstand heat. A better solution might be unscrewing handle from pot, replace waterproof washers and reinstall. That should stop the leak.

If your Jenn-Air model JES9750AAW oven door is squeaking, especially when heated, it could be caused by a variety of factors. Here are a few suggestions for fixing the problem:

1. Check the hinges: Make sure that the hinges are not bent or damaged, and that they are securely attached to the door and the oven. Tighten any loose screws, and make sure that the hinges are properly aligned.
2. Lubricate the hinges: If the hinges are not damaged, try lubricating them again, using a high-quality lubricant specifically designed for oven door hinges. Some examples are silicone lubricant, white lithium grease, or PTFE spray lubricant. These lubricants are heat-resistant and can withstand high temperatures.
3. Check the door gasket: The door gasket is the seal that runs around the edge of the door and helps to keep the heat inside the oven. Make sure that the gasket is not damaged or worn, and that it is securely attached to the door. A damaged gasket can cause the door to not seal properly and cause the squeaking noise.
4. Check the door handle: Make sure that the door handle is securely attached to the door. If it is loose, it can cause the door to not sit flush against the oven and cause the squeaking noise.
5. Call for service: If none of the above solutions work, it may be necessary to contact a professional technician to take a look at your oven and diagnose the problem.

High-temperature silicon glue will probably work ok. Be sure to clean the hole with alcohol and allow 24 hours for the glue to cure. Epoxy would be a better seal, but it doesn't adhere to plastic very well. Hope this helps!

Wet a hand towel or multiple layers of paper towel and lay it over the sticky residue and turn the unit on high for 20 to 30 seconds to heat it. Then use a plastic spatula to scrape it off. The heating should loosen it up and the plastic spatula should be safe to scrape without damaging it.
