Late last week the outermost white safety glass (part # W10075980) on our Whirlpool oven (model SF362LXSQ) exploded...or burst. The oven is 3 years old. If I buy the part/glass can I install it myself. If so, what pointers do I need to know to install it correctly...so it isn't unduly pressured, yet secure, and also placed/secured in such a way that it is safe for those that live in the house. I have heard it said that this glass tends to shatter just from pressure build up over the years…any truth to this. Anyway, please offer the info I need to replace this glass…by myself if possible.

Model Number: SF362LKSQ

I'm afraid I can find no listing for the model number you originally supplied for your message. I assume the second one you supplied in your message text is correct SF362LXSQ

If I buy the part/glass can I install it myself?

I'm afraid I have no idea of your abilities but most reasonably handy persons should be able to perform such a task.

It's possible although strikes against it (even ones that don't immediately break it) are most often a cause of breakage IMO.

please offer the info I need to replace this glass

Reference the owner's manual on how to correctly remove the door from the range to work on it. Other than that, there is no specific directions I can offer. It is usually a fairly straightforward job.
