Replacing an oven door glass involves setting up an area of operation and exercising great care. Don't get cut up. Every model is a bit different but the basic procedure is identical. First, you must figure out how to remove the door>> from the oven and lay it out on a flat wide surface; ideally a table covered with a blanket.
There are many tricks to removing the hinges and door from the oven.
1. Some doors lift off by pulling upward on the door once the door is partially open.
2. Many hinges have a locking pin or a hole into which you insert your own locking pin. This pin takes pressure off the door springs and allow you to lift off the door. See Oven Hinges.
3. A few are held in by one or two screws on each side or the door. On this sample the door slid upward in order to replace the glass.
4. In some cases the hinge stays with the oven as the door lifts off. In others, the hinges lift out of the oven walls and come out with the door. You may have trouble lining up the hinges when reinserting the door. Take your time and tilt the door back and forth until you get it right. I have been very frustrated with this operation. About the time I begin to get angry with the idiot designer, it magically slides right into place.
Replacing The Glass
Once the door is off, lay it out on the blanket to catch all the shards of glass and gradually remove the layers of the door working your way down to the glass. Lay out the panels and screws across your blanket in the order they come apart. Most doors have an inner and outer glass. The inner is high temperature glass. The replacement may be either a single sheet or two sheets set in a frame. Regardless, clean up the glass from the panels and gradually reassemble the door. Be very careful to avoid any side pressure on the glass or you will be sorry. This task can take an hour and the glass is expensive.
