How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and do not use the oven until the glass is replaced. Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling broken glass.

  • Secure area: Carefully tape over cracked glass with painter's tape to prevent shards from falling.
  • Identify which glass: Magic Chef doors often have inner and outer glass panels. Determine which is broken by visual inspection.
  • Remove door: Follow the manual to remove the door from the oven. Lay it flat on a padded surface.
  • Disassemble door: Remove screws around the perimeter to separate the inner and outer panels. Carefully remove broken glass and clean out all fragments.
  • Install replacement glass: Install the correct inner or outer door glass panel for your model, reassemble the door, and reinstall on the oven.

When to call a technician: If you are uncomfortable handling large glass panels or the frame is bent, professional replacement is safer.
