Google "Exploding Termpered Glass"
This summer, while sleeping, we heard a loud explosion that literally sounded like a gunshot, followed by the sound of shrads of glass flying around. It turned out that our shower wall had exploded for no apparent reason.
I decided to google "exploding tempered glass" and discovered this is a rare problem but it does occur. There were numerous examples of table tops, shower doors, etc exploding for no apparent reason. My understanding is this can occur if a certain manufactoring defect occurs.
Bottom line - tempered glass can explode - not sure I would blame the particular appliance maker.
