How to replace an electric range oven door outer glass panel

Fully open the oven door. Use a slot screwdriver to pry down the locking tabs to the unlocked position on both sides of the door.

Raise the door to the broil stop position, which is about 1/4 open. Grip both sides of the oven door and then lift up and out to remove the door.

Carefully place the oven door face down on a padded surface, such as a towel-covered table. Using the type of screwdriver that fits the screws, remove the screws that secure the door handle to the top of the oven door. Remove the handle.

Remove the screws at the bottom of the oven door. Lift the inner door panel assembly off the outer door panel and set it on the padded surface.

Slide the top trim out of the channels that help secure it to the outer oven door.

Remove the top trim.

The outer door panel frame is attached to the outer glass window with double-stick foam tape. Using a slot screwdriver, carefully pry up on the metal frame where there are strips of double-stick foam tape.

Remove the outer door glass panel from the door frame. Set the oven's glass panel aside for disposal.

Use a scraper to carefully remove the residue of the foam tape from the front of the outer door frame. You can try using adhesive remover to help remove the residue.

Set the new glass panel face down on the padded surface. Apply double-stick foam tape to approximately the same areas on the frame where the tape was located before.

Carefully position the frame on top of the new glass panel—this procedure may require 2 people, to ensure that you have the frame lined up properly. Press the frame onto the outer door glass so that the double-stick tape bonds the surfaces.

Slide the top door trim into the channels at the top of the door frame. Ensure that the top trim is seated and lined up properly.

Position the inner door panel assembly above the outer door panel and frame. Carefully lower the inner door panel assembly into place. Insert the screws at the bottom of the door to secure the inner door panel assembly to the outer door panel frame and loosely tighten the screws.

Position the door handle at the top of the door. Insert the screws and loosely tighten the screws to hold the door handle in place. If you meet resistance as you start turning the screw, back out the screw to ensure it's seated and lined up properly and then begin tightening it again.

Tighten the screws in the door handle until you meet resistance and then give the screwdriver a final firm twist to snug the screw tight. Do the same to tighten the screws on the bottom of the door assembly. Don't overtighten.

Position the door in the broil position and work the oven door hinges back into the receivers on the front of the range or oven frame. Open the door fully and rotate the hinge locking pins into the locked position. Close the oven door.
