Product: Electrolux/Frigidaire FES365ESA (white slide-in glass-top electric range). Incident: The outer glass panel on my oven door shattered for no apparent reason. I was cut on the face and hands.

After review, she advised Electrolux could offer a 30 % discount on replacement parts and also started a liability claim regarding my cuts caused by the broken glass. I advised her that due to the severity of this incident that I expected Electrolux to replace the door free of charge. Loss of function after the warranty period is expected, exploding glass doors are not. I requested further escalation, [REDACTED] advised that there was no higher level. She gave me the mailing addr
