The product, in the report: Electric Kitchen Range
My GE electric range oven door glass shattered when using the self cleaning feature (the middle of the three layers is what broke). Fortunately no one was injured, however, the potential for injury was certainly apparent with all the broken glass everywhere. I called GE about the problem and they said that since the range was outside of the one year purchase date and since I had not purchased an extended warranty that I would have to pay to have the item repaired.

The product, in the report: Electric slide in range
The consumer used the front right burner for approximately an hour at 2:00 and powered the burner in the off position. Around 6:30 pm the oven glass door exploded causing the glass to shatter and pop off from the range. The outer glass was what had exploded.
The pieces in glass range in size from small to large. The consumer estimates using the oven last 10/17/2012 for approximately 15 minutes at 300 degrees.
The range was installed in the home in April of 2006 so the consumer does not know where it was purchased from.
The cosnumer has not used the range since the failure occurred.The consumer has not contacted the firm but plans to do so.
Since the day the consumer reported this, the consumer contacted GE and they sent a technician to replace the oven glass door at no cost to the consumer. The consumer also did not have to pay for parts. Their consumer relations dept. was very responsive.

Hurt, care not known Made Oct 12, 2012, sent to the company Dec 21, 2012, published by CPSC Jan 9, 2013
The product, in the report: Electric Range
Calling is contacting CPSC on behalf of her 23yr old daughter named on this report who purchased an electric range September 1, 2012.
The first time she used it the exterior of her oven door was so hot that it burned her then 9 month old daughters hand when she touched it.
Repair tech was sent by retailer who recorded a temperature of 145 degrees at the oven door then stated that this manufacturer allows the exterior oven door to reach 172 degrees.
Caller and her daughter researched and found that a person is burned at 140 degrees.
Retailer was contacted advised caller’s daughter that she has had the appliance for a month and she cannot return it.
UPDATE: Sears eventually worked with me when I spoke with a manager, and let me return the GE stove and purchase a [REDACTED]. They also delivered it for free as they felt bad for the way it was handled. My main concern is that it is acceptable for a stove door to get to 172 degrees on the outside whe a 3rd degree burn can occur as 140 degrees. I am in a small rancher and it is almost unavoidable to travel through my kitchen to get around- my daughter crawled by the stove and reached her hand out to the side to brace herself and screamed- that’s when I learned how hot the door got. when I called GE concerned with the discovery of the temp, I was literally told to be a more responsible parent and keep my kids away from the stove. My point is that I feel people should be aware of what’s acceptable for a door temp to reach and GE’s attitude towards it. The [REDACTED] stove I purchased in its place is cool to the touch when on.
