Ok, so im cleaning the T5 and notice some movement in my door glass, its very slight but its in all around perimeter. is that normal ??? if i push on outside there is some movement , all the glass hold down brackets are tight,,, could it be gasket wear just curious...

If mine ever cools off I will check it and let you know. It may be May 2015 however.

Doesn't sound right to be loose. How old is the stove?

The glass is not clamped tight, just enough to compress the gasket. If the gasket is still making good contact all the way around I would let it be and just watch it for now.

Thanks Begreen, that makes sense that the glass could not be really tight. There must some room for expansion and contraction of various parts and I guess the glass if really tight would be prone to cracking.

Best of luck with your stove jetmech, I agree it is a good one.
