Signs a door seal has worn out

A door seal closes the gap between the door and the cabinet, keeping water, steam or heat where it belongs. Seals harden, shrink, split and lose their shape with age, heat and cleaning chemicals. Depending on the appliance, a failed seal shows up as water on the floor, steam escaping around the door, an oven that's slow to heat or overcooks the front of trays, a door that doesn't close snugly, or mould and residue trapped in the folds. Sharp utensils and a slammed door can also tear a seal.

Replacing a door seal

Switch the appliance off at the wall and let it cool if it's an oven. Study how the old seal is held, whether by clips, hooks or a push-in channel, and take a photo before removing it. Clean the seating area thoroughly. Fit the new seal starting at the top centre or a corner and work evenly around without stretching it, then close the door and check it seals all the way round.
