TraciWA Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 if the front glass panel has shattered. My 14yo ds shattered the glass front of our oven and I don't have the cash to replace it right now. What say you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I would say no because the glass keeps the heat from escaping. I seriously doubt your food would get cooked in a normal amount of time. Plus someone could get burned that way. It isn't safe to operate an oven without the glass. If you have a microwave, use it until you get it fixed.

QueenCat Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Not safe, so no.... and you may find it cheaper to buy a new, cheap oven, than have the glass installed in a safe manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie~Phlox Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Or you could try your local freecycle and see if someone has one that they don't need for free. Or try Craigslist for your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Not sure but my inclination would be not to use it and to use the stovetop/microwave/grill until I could replace it. Not sure if you can get a glass place to replace it instead of needing a new stove- or maybe a used appliance store or craigs list or some such.

Unicorn. Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If it is only the exterior glass, then yes you can use it. My bf had the same thing happen right before thanksgiving. They ate out for that, but she did end up using it to cook Christmas dinner. She said it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 You may price just an oven door. When we were appliance shopping we wanted to buy a floor model oven to get a good discount. The only problem was that the door was black and we wanted a white door. The sales man just walked over to another oven, lifted the door off, switched it with another, and that was that. Very, very simple. That was 16 years ago, so maybe things are not so easy now, but if it is....you may be able to get a good deal on just a door. Try a used appliance center or even an appliance recycler to see about a second hand door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraciWA Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Thanks hive! I will check out the options. It is just the front exterior glass not the window. We just bought our house in Aug. It came with the house. We have an appliance insurance but it costs $100 to have someone come out. But if we could replace the door for cheaper that would be best.

simka2 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If the heat resistant glass panel is still in place in front of the window then...I did for years!!!! When we were ready to sell I took the door off and took it to a windsheild repair place. They put tinted tempered glass in and it looked wonderful :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
