Customer Questions and Answers for Door Glass (Outer) by Whirlpool

This outer door glass replaces the damaged exterior glass on the appliance door to restore appearance and protect inner door components. Fits as the outer-facing glass panel used when the original glass is cracked, chipped, or clouded. What it does:

• Serves as the exterior glass panel on the appliance door, forming the visible outer surface.
• Protects the inner door liner, wiring, and controls from direct contact and debris.
• Restores the door's finished look when the original glass is scratched, cracked, or discolored.
• Allows safe viewing of the appliance interior where applicable without exposing internal parts.
• Prevents sharp edges and loose glass that can create a hazard.

• Disconnect power (and water, for washers) before beginning any repair; use proper lockout/tagout procedures.
• Handle glass with cut-resistant gloves and eye protection to avoid injury from broken or sharp edges.
• Removal typically requires detaching the door assembly and removing trim/retainers; keep track of screws and clips.
• Follow the appliance's service manual or OEM diagram for model-specific steps.
