I'm doing a replacement right now and thought I'd share the experience. People ask me all the time, "When should I think about replacing my stove?" Well, if there was ever a time when the cost to fix something could trigger a notion to replace the stove, this repair would be it. The glass for this model is over $500.00. Yikes! So, now here I am, charged with the duty of replacing this glass the customer already paid for and I have to get it done without the glass cracking later on down the line. Here's the issue....the door that I'm working with is already torn apart and I'm not really sure what it is that I'm working with cause I didn't take it apart. Cannot find and written instructions or diagrams either. So I'm running blind. Here's what I know.

- Any metal that could touch the glass needs to have a gasket between it and the glass.
- There is a gasket already glued to the glass on three sides but it sagged in the corners...so who ever put it on there didn't follow the first rule of gasket replacement on stoves, which is...don't stretch the gasket!
- The side that has no gasket on the glass is the air wash
- in looking at the brackets, it appears as the air wash on this stove enters the top of the glass
- When ordering this glass, you will need additional gasket for the brackets which DOES NOT come with the kit
- Inevitably, one or more screws that hold the brackets to the cast metal door will be frozen or will break when they are removed so be prepared to drill out and thread tap some holes
