Oven Door Gasket Failure: When to Replace for Optimal Performance
In busy commercial kitchens, ovens are the backbone of efficient food preparation. A critical yet often overlooked component is the oven door gasket, a heat-resistant seal that maintains temperature, ensures consistent cooking, and enhances energy efficiency. Over time, frequent use, high-heat exposure, and everyday wear can cause gaskets to crack, shrink, or lose elasticity, affecting oven performance. In this blog, we explore the common causes of Oven door gaskets failure, the warning signs to watch for, and when replacement is necessary to keep commercial ovens operating at peak efficiency. Understanding Oven Door Gaskets Oven door gaskets are typically made from durable heat-resistant materials such as fiberglass, silicone, or high-temperature rubber. Their primary function is to create a tight seal between the oven door and the oven cavity, preventing heat loss during cooking. In a commercial kitchen, where ovens run for extended periods, the gasket is subjected to co...
