The Outer Door Glass is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens, crafted to fit and complement the aesthetic of your appliance. This component serves as the front panel of the oven door, allowing you to view the contents inside while maintaining consistent temperature control during cooking or baking. Beyond its functional role in insulating and retaining heat, the outer door glass also contributes to the overall look of the oven, making it a critical element for both performance and design. The causes behind these issues typically stem from accidental impacts, temperature stress fractures, or deterioration over time. A damaged outer door glass can lead to inefficient oven operation, heat loss, and even pose safety risks due to the potential for glass breakage. Symptoms of a failing Outer Door Glass include: Cracks or breaks in the glass, compromising the oven's insulation properties Scratches or discoloration that detract from the appliance's appearance Loose glass paneling, indicating a potential safety hazard This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.W10401225 (AP5183444) replaces 1938568, 4452257, 4452316, AH3495223, EA3495223, PS3495223, W10176986.
