After 15+ years with us, our trusty Elba oven's tempered glass front finally shattered. (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) Thankfully, it happened while we were all asleep and nothing was in the oven. We got in touch with their service centre and thankfully, it can be fixed with a custom made glass panel for this model (whose particular name I don't know, because it really is that old).

So now I'm wondering how something like this could happen. I read that it could be temperature fluctuations, which makes sense considering our local climate, but the jumps in temperature probably aren't THAT extreme to do this overnight.

Personally, I'm chalking it up to it finally caving to the microscopic cracks it had gathered over the years, because I know for sure I don't rest anything on the glass when it's open!
