A/094/81 Genuine Oven Gasket 900 for ILVE Ovens and Upright Cookers, Replacement ILVE Oven Seal

A/094/81 is a genuine ILVE gasket that our records list as GASKET 900. It belongs to ILVE's A/094 group of oven seals, and the 900 most likely refers to 90cm ovens and cookers, although the record doesn't say if it means the oven width or the gasket length. ILVE lists several oven seals that look alike, including one-sided and three-sided types, so check A/094/81 against your parts list or the old seal.

Signs an ILVE oven seal has failed

Oven gaskets keep the heat where it belongs. A soft seal compresses when the door shuts so hot air can't leak out. Once the gasket is hard, crushed, torn or pulling away at the corners, you'll notice longer preheating, hot spots, food browning on one side, steam escaping from the door edges, or knobs and the front panel getting hot. A failed seal also wastes power or gas and can scorch the cabinetry around the oven over time.

Replacing the gasket

Switch the oven off at the power point or breaker and wait until it is completely cold. Look at how the old gasket is held, usually by clips into holes around the cavity or in a channel. Remove it gently so the clip holes aren't damaged, clean the area, then fit the new one from the top centre and work evenly around. Close the door to check it seals all the way round.
