Need help with Encore 2040-C

[gthomas785]

My new gaskets for the doors/glass/griddle will arrive tomorrow. In preparation, I have a question about the front doors.

This is how the stove was, when we moved in. The left door centre upright section has no gasket. The right door has gasket around the whole thing.

To me, it seems as though the left door has a better channel for the gasket to run in the centre.

Is my left door correct?

On the right door, where the glass fasteners are, the channel is very small, much smaller than the 3/8 rope gasket.

Ding ding ding... This is a big problem.
I bet fixing that will give you a lot more control.

By the way, if you're re-setting the glass in the doors, I found it helpful to slightly bend the metal clips, using two pair of pliers, so there's a bit of pre-tension when tightening them back down against the glass.
Mine did not have any cement on the window gaskets, they're just held in by compression. Bit of a pain to keep the gasket perfectly positioned while reinstalling the glass, but it's doable.
