Introduction: An oven door shattering is not only inconvenient but can also be dangerous. While it’s rare, it can happen due to a variety of factors. Knowing why it happens and how to prevent it can save you from costly repairs and, more importantly, prevent accidents in the kitchen. In this guide, we’ll take a look at the common reasons why oven doors shatter, and provide simple tips to keep your oven in good condition.
Why Do Oven Doors Shatter?
-
Temperature Fluctuations:
- Why It Happens: Sudden temperature changes can cause the glass in the oven door to expand or contract too quickly, leading to stress and shattering. This is particularly common if the oven door is subjected to extreme heat after being cold (e.g., opening the door right after preheating).
- What You Can Expect: The glass can crack or shatter when exposed to sudden and extreme temperature changes.
-
Faulty or Weak Glass:
- Why It Happens: Sometimes, manufacturing defects or wear and tear can weaken the glass, making it more susceptible to shattering. Over time, repeated use or impacts may cause microscopic cracks, which can eventually lead to a complete break.
- What You Can Expect: Older ovens or ovens that have experienced physical damage may be more prone to door breakage.
