Moffat Turbofan convection oven door gasket replacement in Danville
Problem: A restaurant in Danville had us look at their Moffat Turbofan gas convection oven. On inspection, we found the door wasn’t sealing the way it should. When a convection oven leaks heat at the door, it can burn more gas to hold its setting and struggle to keep the temperature even.
Diagnostics: The oven is a Moffat Turbofan G32D5. The trouble was right at the door opening. The gasket that seals the door was worn out. Along the top it had torn and frayed, and down the side it had hardened and broken into flat pieces. A seal in that shape can’t close the gap, so heat gets out the whole time the oven runs.
Solution: We pulled out the damaged gasket and cleaned the surfaces it mounts to, then checked them over. We installed the new gasket, made sure it sat right, and checked that the door closed against it properly. Then we ran the oven to confirm it was sealing.
Result: The door seals again, and the oven is back in service. Once in a while, when the oven is cool, run your hand around the door gasket. If it feels hard, flat or cracked, plan to replace it before it starts falling apart. We repair Moffat commercial ovens in Danville and across the Tri-Valley.
