I have a 25-year-old Roper built in electric oven. The door gasket or door
seal is totally shot. The gasket looks like a sleeve of some sort of heat
proof fabric containing a thick cord of metal mesh. Model and part numbers
have long since been obliterated. The gasket (or door seal) is about 63 inches
long and looks like this: http://home.houston.rr.com/snaps/GASKET.jpg



Any ideas if a generic version of this material or this part would be
available, and if so .. . . WHERE?


This is Turtle.

Here is one place over the internet and a picture of a Roper Stove / Oven
combine To get the exact one you will need to inter your model number of the
Roper oven and not my Roper oven i put in to look at.

now you can call any appliance Parts stores in your town and get a new gasket
for them generally all the time. Also most every store that sells roper or
Whirlpool , will order you a gasket for you.

Also here is about a 1,000 places to get these gaskets from in your area of
Texas. http://www.repairclinic.com/DD-Texas...ance-parts.htm
