I blocked my ovens vent hole a few years ago with no issues besides a more economical oven.

The vent is a 2" diameter vent pipe that leads from the oven roof to under the element drip dishes.
I press fit a piece of tin foil over the pipe hole. Do at your own discretion , I can say my oven has not been damaged. I estimate the vent hole causes about 30% more energy consumption , as the heat loss is continual.
