Odd ball request for supplier info - door seal

Dec 15, 2005 7 Replies

Dear All



Slightly odd request, but I am sure someone may have a answer as I am looking for a high temperature seal, my In-laws have a old gas cooker (estimate around 35 - 40 yrs) and the oven door seal is now getting too worn to effect a good air tight seal. I have tried the current company which inherited the name of the original manufacturer, however they no longer supply this door seal.



Does anyone out there know of a supplier for a 1/2" diameter rope type sealing cord which could be used in domestic cookers - if you do not know if it can be used give me the suppliers details and I will enquire.



Best regards and Happy Christmas to all.

A supplier of range type cookers (Aga, Rayburn etc), or maybe solid fuel stoves, should be able to supply this, it's used for the hotplate lids on some models.

I bought some from a place in Cardigan last year, but I should think most such dealers would keep it.

Exactly the sort of stuff I use to seal my Rayburn. It's not cheap, mind, and you might have to put up with the unbearable smugness that seems to emanate from the average Aga shop. Don't forget a pot of glue for the rope.

Regards,

You could try my local supplier. Can't say that I've asked for that but I've bought other seal kits from them. Domestic Applicances Sudbury, Suffolk Tel: 01787 374771

Dear All

Again our web group has come up with some solutions to a problem, thanks to all the guys that responded - I will be visiting the local Aga and Rayburn dealers this weekend to see if I can aquire the necessary seal and save my in-laws the hassle of changing part of the kitchen to incorporate a new cooker (non will fit in the space the current one occupies).

Thanks and Happy Christmas

Just a thought, have a look on ebay for a secondhand cooker which matches their old one, or even down the recycling tip.

There is also the stuff used by wood burning stove suppliers if Aga don't deliver. Probably a lot cheaper.
