Well, the heat welded that foil onto it good and the only fix was to have a crew come out, take the whole thing apart and rebuilt it, electronics and all, around a brand new chassis. Thankfully the kitchen place we just dropped $100,000 felt bad for us and with my wife's sobbing gave us the chassis for free, and I paid for $600 in labor. All in all ended well enough. See if you can find a chassis somewhere like Appliants parts pro or something and see if you can rebuild it? I can tell you from experience that ain't coming off. They say someday you'll look back and laugh.

Andy,
I feel your pain x3. This is the third time my wife has had an incident with very expensive kitchen appliances. First she shorted out a Thermador range by lifting the element to clean under it (oven kaput). Then the current Thor commercial range she did the tinfoil trick you spoke of. Most of the damage was to the drip cover on the bottom, which we replaced.
As for your challenge, check out the picture. Used some mechanical devices where the plastic melted into the openings, then soaked in G96, then mixed in bartenders keeper to make a slurry. Scrubbed on it with one of Dean Romig's expensive scrubber pads as Edgar has called it.
Now to take apart the door to replace the heat gasket.
