A081579 Genuine Oven Door Gasket for Ariston Ovens, Ariston Oven Door Seal, Heat Seal for the Oven Cavity

A081579 is a genuine oven door gasket for Ariston ovens, from the same group that owns the Indesit and Whirlpool brands. It's the heat seal the door closes against, keeping hot air inside the cavity while the oven is running. We don't have a model list on file for A081579, so compare it with the number on your old gasket or your oven's parts list before buying.

How to tell an Ariston oven door gasket is worn

When the oven door shuts, it presses against the gasket and squeezes it into a tight, even seal. This keeps the cooking heat in the cavity, holds the set temperature steady and stops hot air blasting out at the controls and handle. Years of heating and cooling take their toll. A worn gasket looks flat, brittle, frayed or torn, and may hang loose at the corners. You might also see steam or smoke escaping from the door edge, find food taking longer to cook, or feel the outside of the oven running hotter than normal.

Fitting an oven door gasket

Let the oven cool fully and turn it off at the isolator or wall switch. Many Ariston door gaskets clip into holes around the oven cavity. Start at the top centre, pressing each clip in until it seats, then work around the corners and down the sides. Run the oven empty on a moderate heat for a short while to settle the new seal.

Questions about this part

How do I measure my old oven door gasket?

Measure the width and height of the seal as it sits in the oven, from the outer edges, and note how many clips it has and where the join falls. Compare that with your oven's parts list, or send the details and your model number through the enquiry form.
