In order to provide the most accurate advise I need the complete model number of the unit.

I also broke the inner door glass to my Kitchen Aide Superba. I hope they can be replaced - I'm a house guest.

gene,
thanks so much for the reply.
for some reason, I saw the reply but not the message until now.
anyway, the model is KE SC308LSSO
I actually already received the glass and tried to repair it
(without directions)
2 problems
I got as far as replacing the glass then reinstalling the tension springs
now the door wont stay open and slams shut
there doesnt seem a way to "adjust" the springs
also, I can't remember exactly where the rest of the parts go.
NEED HELP PLEASE !!

Gene, I have the same problem (cracked inner glass door). I found the part number to order but have no idea how to disassmble door to replace glass. Where can I obtain directions for my KitchenAid Superba range (KGRT607HBS6)? Also, other than the glass, are there other required parts I need to order to replace the glass? Thanks in advance.

I found the blue prints for the door although I didnt really use them. I simply just started with a screw driver and followed my nose. Although, I did read something after that would have saved me ALOT of time and energy ... DO NOT RELEASE THE SPRINGS; if you open the door 1/4 th of the way about 30 degrees I guess... there will be kind of a lock on the springs, so to speek, now pull straight up on the door (toward the ceiling) and the door should disengage from the stove unit ... hence no need to release the springs.
Also, unless you have a fotographic memory, videotape the process to remember the reassembly, as labeling would be extremely time consuming and you wont have parts left over like I did. (couple screws)... but then I have always had a couple screws loose and I still work fine.
For the blue prints I believe I simply googled for it, but also I believe I found the original documents which also contained them.
good luck, you can do it, I did.
ray.
Good luck

broken blueprints on page 5 of this document. http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/assets/pdfs/literature/Repair%20Part%20List%20-%208168583.pdfIt is not difficult if you follow these simple tips: "I found the blue prints for the door although I didnt really use them. I simply just started with a screw driver and followed my nose. Although, I did read something after that would have saved me ALOT of time and energy ... DO NOT RELEASE THE SPRINGS; if you open the door 1/4 th of the way about 30 degrees I guess... there will be kind of a lock on the springs, so to speek, now pull straight up on the door (toward the ceiling) and the door should disengage from the stove unit ... hence no need to release the springs. Also, unless you have a fotographic memory, videotape the process to remember the reassembly, as labeling would be extremely time consuming and you wont have parts left over like I did. (couple screws)... but then I have always had a couple screws loose and I still work fine." might want to label parts and screws to correspond to the blueprints. Watch the video backwards to reassemble. Everyone has digital cam these days or borrow one. Best Luck! ray.
