hi all. Yea, I know, another gasket question. I've spent the last couple of hours reading search responses but haven't found an exact answer to my issue.
I have an unknown stove (was in the house when we purchased it, I included a photo of the front) and it's time to go over the doors. They're leaking badly from the rope seal gaskets, and also the glass. I removed the doors today, and it looks like somebody used some sort of clear rubber silicone on the whole thing. On the lower part of the doors, the silicone is heat blasted into some sort of hard white material that is flaking off, while the upper parts of the doors are still clear and pliable. They used the same material for the seal between the glass and the door itself. I removed the upper brackets holding the glass, and both pieces literally fell right out.
I think there is supposed to be an actual gasket between the glass and the door. Where can I get this, or should I just make due and use high temp RTV again? I see there are some various nomex style high temp adhesive gaskets on Amazon that are meant for use in BBQ smokers. Thanks for any advice or identification on the stove. I'm guessing it's early to mid 1990's vintage as that's when our living room was remodeled and the stove added.
