Oven door seal - Genuine or Universal?

Options
Hi, does anyone know if a universal oven door seal works as well as a 'genuine' seal? Price is vastly different, £28 for genuine and £8 for universal! Any advice appreciated.

  • Hi, Personally I'd opt for the manufacturer seal. Best of luck.

    I would go for the universal at that price, they are often from the same manufacture, just one goes into a branded bag

    Thanks for the replies, I have an Ignis oven which is actually made by Whirlpool and some sights are selling Whirlpool genuine parts for the ignis. Will go for the universal I think as I can't see what the difference would be, a piece of rubber is a piece of rubber!

    HI
    I too have an ignis oven and am sure that I have one seal missing!

    Does yours have four or three seals on the main oven? ( model akl 335/01)

    I would go for the universal seals too.
