Whirlpool W11104748 Range Window Gasket

The Whirlpool W11104748 Range Gasket-WND is an important component for sealing the oven compartment of your Whirlpool or Amana range. This gasket, often made of high-temperature silicone rubber, forms a tight seal around the oven door.  During baking or roasting, the gasket prevents hot air from escaping the oven cavity, allowing for more constant cooking temperatures and better energy efficiency.  By keeping heat from seeping out, the oven will have to work less hard to maintain the proper temperature, potentially lowering your energy bills. In addition, a well sealed oven compartment prevents cool air from entering, which is critical for equal heat distribution and effective cooking. In addition, the gasket prevents fumes, smells, and moisture from escaping the oven.
