Outer glass door shattered.

Repair & Advice
Oven door outer glass was tragically shattered in a Tik Tok fail(long story). Ordered replacement from Parts Dr. Part came exactly as described. The door is extremely easy to replace. Simply remove the five screws(2 upper and 3 lower) Remove, replace, and your off. Hardest part was to find something to weight the door in a partially open position in order to fit the new part. Second set of hands would have been great.

Repair & Advice
I had struck the edge of the glass on my oven with a heavy pyrex causing it to shatter. After a few choice words and roping off the kitchen from the crowd of people and animals that gathered to watch my ordeal, I removed the outer portion of the oven door and ordered this part.
The removal is much easier, there are two screws on the inside of the oven that hold the top of the door in place. The bottom of the door is held in place with 3 screws, you can access those from beneath with the bottom drawer pulled out a little. That releases the whole outer door. Make sure to grab the handle because the replacement does not come with one, its held in the part you removed by 2 screws.
My replacement had a dent in the top and is the only reason I rated this a 4 /5 instead of a perfect score. The package is surprisingly light, but the outer portion of the door is all there assembled, save for the handle that you have to salvage. The installation was a decent bit more difficult, but may be easier with another hand holding things up as you screw in the parts. My main issue was the screws kept popping out of place as I pressed the door against them, partly because there is nothing to keep them from moving when jostled and the angle of the rest of oven door as the screws to tighten the top is inside the oven when closed. another hand would probably make that easier, or not depending on the hands. Overall it is an easy repair, but a pair of work gloves is probably needed as the edge of the metal can cut in several places, as my knuckles can attest.
