if you do the dollar bill test,and it fails but the gasket looks good,look in the manual,there is an extra washers in where the door latches.you can remove 2 and your door will close tighter.
Generally speaking, your door gasket will be OK as long as:
It seals tightly - the "Dollar Bill" test...
It is still firmly glued/adhered to the stove &
It is still pliable & will compress when you push on it.
Once it hardens up, it loses most of it's sealing capacity, &
even door adjustments may not get it to seal...
