Oven Door Glass Shattered During Self Clean

Can one use the self cleaning option on a bosch or is that just to make the sale.

Oven door glass shattered during self clean.

Jules lynn of berks county posted a photo on reporter nydia han s facebook page this month stating her whirlpool oven door shattered during the first self clean mode. During the process the inner middle glass shattered. I ran a self clean cycle on my under 1 year old capital connoisserurian 36 range this morning and with about an hour to go the oven glass shattered. It could be either the inner or outer glass panels that shattered.

I also contacted ge public relations asking how frequently this happened since a google search for glass oven door shattered produced quite a few personal experiences and news reports. Some of these micro fissures are created when the glass is tempered while others are created when something small bumps against the glass in the oven like a pan diamond ring or metal spoon. Other times the oven was cool and not in use. The first three photos show what i found after i heard the glass break.

There was no particular rhyme or reason as to when or how oven doors exploded in the cases we heard of from members.
