RLA312 Caloric Range - Instructions

The top seal was too long (my fault, ordered wrong length seal) so I had to cut it and high-temp epoxy the metal hook into the end. Overall pretty easy fix.

Purchased 2 piece broiler pan from this site

shortened gasket for this oven. moved hook approx. 1 inch. used high temp adhesive. simple fix.

ordered new broiler pan

The repair was really easy! I read a review where the gentleman had order the wrong size and that had me a little worried because I did not specify a size. There were three seals on my range so I figured if one broke I might as well replace all three. When I received the seals they were the right size and it took me less than five minutes to put them on. No tools needed because they had hooks on each end. Thanks a lot!

I removed the old stretched and cracking seals by unhooking the metal brackets from the holes at the corners of the oven, and replaced them with the new seals, which fit perfectly. It took about a minute. My 25 year old oven is working wonderfully now.

The side seals were available and hooked into place with no effort at all. The OEM top and bottom seals were not available any longer so I purchased the recommended substitute which was about 2" too long. I took the advice from another of your customers and cut the top and bottom seals to the correct length and using hi-temp epoxy reattached the hooks to the shortened end. On an additional note the seal itself is partially tubular in cross-section an by that virture protects the hi-temp epoxy from the heat.

Used 2 side seals to make a new top seal (no longer available). Cut the 2 new side seals to provide about 1/2" less length than the old top seal. Removed one of the end hooks and straightened the hook, removed the old silicone from the hook. Used high temperature silicone and the old hook to splice the cut ends together. Let cure over-night and reinstalled. Works like a champ.

The side seals fit perfectly so I just put the hooks in the holes! The top seal was too long so I cut it to size and used super glue which did not hold. Next I looked for a high temp glue with no luck. Finally I put the hook into the seal and used a very fine wire through the holes in the metal of the hook piece and twisted the wire until it held the metal piece in place. Then I installed the top seal and it works fine. There is no longer heat pouring out the top of the oven and my brownies cooked at the right temp for the right time. Hooray!

I unhooked the clips on each end and put the new seals on. Quick and easy.

I used the 14 in. Seals which are shown in their packaging as folded in a U - shape. The two tabs on either end slipped into their retainer holes easily requiring just enough stretching to flatten them. It all all took less than a minute, including opening the package. Very satisfying.

This is a simple replacement. The hardest part was that I had to shorten the seal because it comes 15 to 17 inches. So it needed to be shortened to properly fit. I cut the seal to fit, then took the metal hook on the end and super glued it to the cut end. I put a weight on it to make sure
