Title: Door Gasket
Post by: dumbodog00 on October 08, 2014, 07:25:24 AM

Has anyone replaced their door gasket?  I have a H2 that the gasket is not sealing well along to bottom. I have tried cleaning it to no avail.  I have a stove shop close by and did not know what size to get.  I didn't think it would matter if I used a "Hardy" brand vs. non. Any insight would be appreciated.

It should be 5/8" if I remember right.  Just pull the old one out, clean out that channel real good, put some high temp silicone there and then put your new rope in.  After you do that make sure you don't open your door for a little while so the silicone can dry.

I just replaced both upper and lower gaskets on my H4. I got everything needed from my dealer, rope and silicone for about $30.00. The rope was already cut to the proper length. There was enough silicone left over to redo both flapper doors on the back.

Is it more of a rope or is it flat?  I have opened that door probably thousands of times, but never noticed.

Yea it's rope.  It will flatten out from closing the door.
