The rubber or silicone gasket around your Wolf oven door is worn, cracked, or damaged, allowing heat to escape during cooking.

Quick Fixes to Try First

  • 1
    Inspect the entire gasket for cracks, gaps, or hard spots
  • 2
    Clean the gasket with mild soap and water to remove residue
  • 3
    Check if the gasket is simply displaced and can be reseated
  • 4
    Order a genuine Wolf replacement gasket for your model

Most Common Causes

Normal Wear

DIY Possible

Gaskets degrade over time from repeated heating and cooling cycles.

Self-Clean Heat Damage

DIY Possible

The extreme temperatures of self-clean cycles accelerate gasket deterioration.

Arizona Dry Air

DIY Possible

Arizona's extremely low humidity causes rubber and silicone to dry out and crack faster.

Other Possible Causes

Chemical Damage

Harsh oven cleaners have degraded the gasket material.
