Hello, Take a cleaning cloth moistened with
household cleaning detergent and water solution and clean the channel
and the oven door frame. Clean it well so you don't leave any cleaning
detergent residue.
Before you decide to replace your oven door gasket,check first if it really needs
replacement or if it's the correct oven component that's broken. Broken
oven door gaskets unevenly heat the food being cooked or baked. Turn on
the oven and navigate your hand around the door way of the oven without
touching the walls of the oven. An inch distance from the walls of the
oven to your fingertips is a good distance to check for any unexpected
release of heat.
The gasket needs replacement if you perceive that the
heat is escaping from inside. Be careful not to touch the oven door
when you test your oven.
The gasket is where the door normally closes
on to and is normally found at the frame of the oven. In this kind of
oven,
where the gasket is mounted on the frame, the gasket is
friction-fit and can easily be replaced. Some ovens have a door that is
divided in to 2 sections and the gasket is not found on the door frame.
In this type of oven, the gasket is installed in between the back and
front panels of the oven door. If the gasket is installed in between
the front and back sections of the door, it is advisable to have a
professional fix or replace it.
For frame-mounted gaskets, below is a
step by step process on replacing the oven door
gasket:
Tools and Materials Needed:
Step 1 - Get the Range and Brand
Take note of the range and brand of oven that needs gasket replacement. Purchase the correct type of gasket.
Step 2 - Turn Off the Valve
Turn off the valve of the gas source. Take the old gasket out of the
channel by removing the screws that is holding it in place. Some
gaskets are not attached to the oven via screws but are just
friction-fitted in place.
Step 3 - Clean the Channel
Step 4 - Install the New Gasket
Start installing the new gasket starting from the top of the door
frame going down unto the sides of the oven frame. Ease the new gasket
around the corners. End the installation along the bottom by pushing
the gasket ends together.
When replacing the gasket, be aware of the scents perceived in the
vicinity of the oven. Leave the house when you smell gas and call the
fire department. Don't turn on or off any lighting materials such as
lamps, ceiling lights or flashlights. If it's found outside the house,
turn off the valve of the gas master source. Do not, in any case, enter
your home, until the firemen get to your house and confirm that it's
safe to go in.

Good luck and thanks for using fixya.

Hi....... Can't tell u specifically for your model , but broadly probedure is divided into 2 broad categories depending on your oven The two types of oven door gaskets are
self-cleaning oven gaskets and non-self-cleaning oven gaskets. Each are
pressed into the door, but because of the high heat and the need to
essentially have an airtight seal, a self-cleaning oven gasket is
sandwiched between the panels of the oven door. This enables a tighter
fitting gasket, which makes a positive leakproof seal when the oven is
locked into the self-cleaning mode. Each type has its own special
installation requirements.
Regular Oven Gasket Replacement
Regards.
Installation is
also much the same way. Push the gasket into its track, and then
reassemble the door, starting with the oven glass and then placing the
inner door on top. Secure it all down by putting the screws back in, and
then rehang the door back onto the oven. After it is back in place,
check the gasket seal by doing a self-cleaning cycle. If the gasket has
been installed correctly, there will be no gaps where any of the heat
will leak out.

Thanks for your reply, but the gasket is not actually on the door. I have replaced those no problems. This gasket is actually part of the oven itself, and is somehow attached around the edge of it, the door would sit snug up against it. There don't appear to be any screws or clips that I can see.
