A stainless dual surface version is sold as a separate part, so check that your parts list shows 4055944591 before ordering. Your model and product number, found on the rating plate, will bring up the right parts list.

Why an oven vapour channel needs replacing

During cooking, steam from food has to escape the cavity, and the vapour channel guides it out along a set path. If the channel is bent, cracked, missing or badly fitted, steam can escape in the wrong place and condense on the door, the control panel or the cabinetry around the appliance. Over time that moisture can mark surfaces or affect nearby components. Channels are usually replaced after damage during a repair or move, or when heavy staining and corrosion make them unsightly.

Fitting the vapour channel

Make sure the appliance is off at the isolating switch and fully cool. Note exactly how the old channel is positioned and fixed, as it needs to line up with the vent opening to work properly. Fit the new channel the same way, tighten any screws evenly and check nothing rattles or blocks the outlet before using the oven again.
