Glass on oven door swinging free
Whirlpool RBS305PDS14 built in Oven
My friend wanted
help cleaning the glass on her oven door. Of course since I’m a “know it all”, on repairing things I volunteered.
We got the thing all torn down and cleaned the glass but it seems the bottom of the glass door is swinging free and I can find no way of attaching it. So Mr Know it All Repair guy has utterly failed with this repair and must come crying for help. It all looks fine and hangs OK but the bottom swings out when the door is opened. I can see no way to attach it. How about it @ladytech, can you help me out?
Is dit een goede vraag?

I have the same issue with a Westinghouse oven. The door consists of a rear metal frame with a glass plate and a fully glass front plate. At the base of the rear metal frame are two metal plates (screwed into place from the bottom), one near each hinge. Both plates have pads of silicon and there’s glue lines on the inner glass surface. A clear case of glue failure and a good example of designed to fail! Now I just have to find the right glue in Australia.

Philip Ellen, this is the part # W10841140. You can get this high temperature glue for use in ovens and for the glass at sears parts direct.com. Most auto parts stores will sell a high temperature glue as well. Even a good 2 sided tape will work. You are right, this is a very poor design flaw. The glass is expensive to replace and there is a good chance the glass could cause a safety issue.

I have the same issue with the Whirlpool model WFG505M0BB0 front door. The outer black glass bottom is separated from the metal frame. I took it all apart and it seems only two-sided tape is used to hold the bottom of the glass in place. The top is held by the screws for the handle. The sides seem to have groove to hold glass edge, but the glass is cut too wide, so it hangs over. Weird and cheap design it seems.
