The inner glass shattered and I want to replace it. It seems I must first remove the door. Any suggestions on how to do that?

Thanks

DOOR IS MUCH HEAVIER THAN FEELS with HINGES ATTACHED

When you fold the oven door down to open position, on the oven body, is there a chrome or metal trim piece that looks like it covers the slot/cavity the door hinge slides into ? I can't see in the schematic.


If yes, use a screw driver to remove the cover plate on both sides.

Close the door 3/4 then lift firmly, door will release up, and hinges will "snap" as springs release from oven body. Remember, door is heavier without counterbalance springs holding it up.

Pretty simple to remove fasteners and remove out door shell, inner glass frames, and get to door glass panel.

Good luck.

When replacing door to body, slip hinges into oven body from above and allow door to close all the way then it should slip down onto the hinge pins inside the oven body. You might have to push in on the door a little more than you think to compress door seal and allow hinges to catch.

Good luck

With the door off, do I disassemble from the front or back of the door? Thanks.
