542555 Genuine Oven Door Seal Gasket for Fisher & Paykel Built-In Ovens BI453 BI603ED BI603MDE

Part 542555 is the genuine Fisher & Paykel door gasket for the BI453, BI603ED and BI603MDE built-in ovens. It forms the seal between the oven door and the cavity when the door is shut. A tired seal lets heat leak out, so replacing it is a simple way to get cooking times and temperatures back on track.

Is heat escaping from your Fisher & Paykel oven door?

The door seal holds heat inside the cavity so the thermostat can keep a steady temperature. Once the gasket hardens, flattens, tears or pulls away at a corner, hot air leaks out around the door. You may notice food taking longer to cook or browning unevenly near the front, steam and heat on the controls above the door, or the door glass and handle getting hotter than normal. Run your fingers around the seal with the oven cold. If it feels brittle, crushed or loose, or you can see gaps, a new 542555 gasket is the fix.

Changing the oven door gasket

Let the oven cool fully and switch it off at the isolator before you start. Note how the old seal is held, often by hooks or clips that push into holes around the frame, and start the new one where the join of the old one sat. Work around evenly without stretching the gasket, as a stretched seal leaves gaps at the corners. Check the door closes firmly once you're done.
