How to Replace the Glass on a Frigidaire GLEFZ379FC Oven

The glass in the door of your Frigidaire GLEFZ379FC oven is tempered to withstand high temperatures and the occasional bump; but after several years of heavy use or a sudden accident, the glass may crack or shatter. Replacing the glass involves removing and partially disassembling the door. With common household tools, this task is relatively simple to do on your own. You can purchase a replacement pane of glass for your oven through Frigidaire.
