GE JS645SLSS 5.3 cu ft Slide-In Electric Range MECH-GASKET Error Fix: Oven Door Gasket/Seal Worn or Damaged

The oven door gasket (rope seal) is torn, compressed, hardened or missing sections — heat escapes around the door causing uneven cooking, excessive external heat, and energy waste; the gasket is a braided fiberglass rope that fits into a channel around the oven door opening; on most GE ranges, the gasket hooks into metal clips around the door liner perimeter and can be replaced without tools; check for gaps by closing the door on a dollar bill — if the bill slides out easily at any point, the gasket needs replacement
