I had a piece blow apart in my Whirlpool. I was cleaning it at the time so it was my fault. I went to Ace hardware and had a piece of plexiglass cut to size and it works great. Measure twice and cut once.

Couple years ago I’m sitting in my living room and I hear what sounded like a gunshot upstairs. I run upstairs only to find the glass shower door in the guest bath had literally exploded, glass everywhere. I call the people that installed the glass (3 yrs prior) and they were not surprised. They said it’s tempered so these things happen (???). I called the manufacturer and they said, it’s tempered so these things happen. I go to my local home depot and I’m told, it’s tempered these things happen. Maybe there should be a big sign where they are sold that says, this glass is tempered – explosion possible. The manufacturer did replace without charge and they paid install.

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. |
