Description
Maintain consistent oven temperatures and prevent heat loss with the GE WB2X1522 Range Oven Door Seal Gasket. This genuine OEM-style flexible silicone gasket creates a crucial seal between the oven door and the oven cavity when the door is closed. Over time, high heat and wear can cause the old gasket to become brittle, cracked, or loose, which allows heat to escape, leading to uneven cooking and higher energy use. Replacing this seal is a critical maintenance step for restoring efficiency and performance.
