How to Install Door Glass on a Frigidaire Oven

If the glass on your Frigidaire oven door breaks, you may be inclined to call a service technician to replace the glass. But you can save yourself the cost of a service call if you do the job yourself. You could also save some time if your technician is very busy. To replace the glass, you must remove the door from the oven, disassemble the door and then install the new glass. Before doing the repair, disconnect the oven's power source to eliminate the possibility of getting a jolt.
