How do I replace an Oven Gasket seal for a F&P Multi Function oven Model no. 649PAW. The part is called Gasket Oven, part number 573263. I can't find anyway to remove the seal from the oven. There was a small screw at the top but it didn't do much when I removed that.

Hello,

Before you decide to replace your oven door gasket,check first if it really needs replacement or if it's the correct oven component that's broken. Broken oven door gaskets unevenly heat the food being cooked or baked. Turn on the oven and navigate your hand around the door way of the oven without touching the walls of the oven. An inch distance from the walls of the oven to your fingertips is a good distance to check for any unexpected release of heat.
The gasket needs replacement if you perceive that the heat is escaping from inside. Be careful not to touch the oven door when you test your oven.
The gasket is where the door normally closes on to and is normally found at the frame of the oven. In this kind of oven,
where the gasket is mounted on the frame, the gasket is friction-fit and can easily be replaced. Some ovens have a door that is divided in to 2 sections and the gasket is not found on the door frame.
In this type of oven, the gasket is installed in between the back and front panels of the oven door. If the gasket is installed in between the front and back sections of the door, it is advisable to have a professional fix or replace it.
For frame-mounted gaskets, below is a step by step process on replacing the oven door
gasket:

Tools and Materials Needed:

• Screwdriver,Cleaning cloth,Household detergent,Water,New gasket (same brand and range).

Take a cleaning cloth moistened with household cleaning detergent and water solution and clean the channel and the oven door frame. Clean it well so you don't leave any cleaning detergent residue.
Step 4 - Install the New Gasket Start installing the new gasket starting from the top of the door frame going down unto the sides of the oven frame. Ease the new gasket around the corners. End the installation along the bottom by pushing the gasket ends together.
When replacing the gasket, be aware of the scents perceived in the vicinity of the oven. Leave the house when you smell gas and call the fire department. Don't turn on or off any lighting materials such as lamps, ceiling lights or flashlights. If it's found outside the house, turn off the valve of the gas master source. Do not, in any case, enter your home, until the firemen get to your house and confirm that it's safe to go in.

Please rate this if it help.

Good luck and thanks for using fixya.

Hi.......

Can't tell u specifically for your model , but broadly probedure is divided into 2 broad categories depending on your oven

The two types of oven door gaskets are self-cleaning oven gaskets and non-self-cleaning oven gaskets. Each are pressed into the door, but because of the high heat and the need to essentially have an airtight seal, a self-cleaning oven gasket is sandwiched between the panels of the oven door. This enables a tighter fitting gasket, which makes a positive leakproof seal when the oven is locked into the self-cleaning mode. Each type has its own special installation requirements.

Regular Oven Gasket Replacement
1. If an oven does not have a self-cleaning function, the gasket is generally held in by a few clips and screws, being seated into a slightly indented track. The screws and clips need to removed and then the old gasket can be pulled out. The new gasket can literally be pressed into the track with your fingers while the door is still attached to the oven. After it is seated, the clips and screws can be put back into place, and the gasket replacement is finished. There is no better or easier way to do it, and the simplicity enables anyone with even limited do-it-yourself experience to do this replacement.
Self-Cleaning Oven Gasket Replacement
2. Replacing a gasket on a self-cleaning oven is quite a bit different than a regular oven. This is not a difficult task, but there are no shortcuts to make it easier. The oven door needs to be removed first and placed on a flat working surface, such as a table or the floor. The door itself will need to be taken apart. Several screws on the inside might need to be removed. After that is done, the inner door can be pulled off and then the oven glass can be removed. It is here where the oven gasket will be placed, and at this point, it can be pulled out much the same way as a regular oven.
   
   Installation is also much the same way. Push the gasket into its track, and then reassemble the door, starting with the oven glass and then placing the inner door on top. Secure it all down by putting the screws back in, and then rehang the door back onto the oven. After it is back in place, check the gasket seal by doing a self-cleaning cycle. If the gasket has been installed correctly, there will be no gaps where any of the heat will leak out.
