RBK28FG5 Range - Instructions

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

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.
