5.1.2 Replacing the Door Gasket

It is important to maintain the gasket in good condition. After a year or more of use, the

door gasket will compress and become hard, which may allow air to leak past it. You can

test the condition of the door gasket by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper.

Test all around the door. If the paper slips out easily anywhere, it is time to replace the

gasket.

Use the correct replacement gasket that you can purchase from your retailer. The diameter

and density of the gasket is important to getting a good seal.

Place the door face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or piece of carpet.

Remove the old gasket from the door by pulling and prying it out with an old screw driver.

Then use the screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door. Now run a 1/4”

(6 mm) bead of high temperature silicone in the door gasket groove. Starting from the

middle of the hinge side, press the gasket into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket as

you place it. Leave the gasket about 1/2” long when you cut it and press the end into the

groove. Tuck any loose fibres under the gasket and into the silicone. Close the door and

do not use the insert for 24 hours.

5.1.3 Replacing the Glass Gasket and/or the Glass

It is a good idea to replace the glass gasket when the door gasket is replaced. The gasket

is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. Remove the 7 glass retaining screws (A) and

clips (B). Lift out the glass (C) from the door frame (D) and pull off the old gasket. This is a

good time to clean the glass thoroughly.

The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a

section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the

adhesive side up. Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the
