Search Facebook for “exploding oven” and you’ll find a plethora of posts showing ovens with their glass doors busted and thousands of tiny pieces of glass littered on the floor.

But how did they get that way?

Willie Mae Truesdale is just one of many who have found themselves with a destroyed oven.

What was even more shocking was her Frigidaire oven wasn’t on.

Truesdale is far from the only one to have their oven door spontaneously combust.

Tonya Lowery turned her oven on to make dinner when all of a sudden her oven door shattered.

1. Avoid bumping into your oven door with pots and pans. Even the smallest dent or nick could cause a stress fracture that could “explode” at a later date.

2. Do not slam your oven door.

3. Make sure the racks are pushed all the way into the oven before closing the door. The metal racks can scratch the glass.
