SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20251225-4F719-2147325231. Severity: No Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Frigidaire FFEF3016VS. Incident: My Frigidaire stove's front-glass just exploded last night for no apparent reason. I wasn't using the stove or the oven at the time. No one was using it! Luckily no one was injured. We don't understand how such a thing could happen, but when we heard that Frigidaire is aware this has been happening to hundreds of consumers, we think this should have a recall on it.

Incident: Our Frigidaire stove front glass exploded when nobody was near it or using it nor had anyone used it for many hours. It was around 3:30am. Nobody was injured though we ended up having to buy a new stove because of it. We have 4 children all 6 years old and younger so it was a serious hazard I had to clean up and quickly at 3:30 am to protect our whole family

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260519-E51B1-2147319056. Severity: No Incident, No Injury. Product: Frigidaire FFEF3016VS (Frigidaire Electric Range with Self-Clean in Stainless Steel 30 inch, 5.3 cu. ft. Model#FFEF3016VS). Incident: Product: Frigidaire Electric Range (Model#FFEF3016VS) Purchased: September 2022 On 5/17/26 between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., the outer glass on my Frigidaire electric oven spontaneously shattered/exploded. The oven was not in use at the time, nor immediately before. There was no one in the house at the time, no pets or other logical reasoning for the glass to shatter. The outer glass exploded in a diagonal fashion across the middle of the door frame, leaving glass attached to the top and bottom portion of the door. All the shattered glass fell onto the floor in front of the oven and extended in a radius of approximately 6 feet. Thankfully no one, including my children, were inside when the explosion occurred and no injuries resulted because of the explosion. Upon research, this is not the first time an issue with the door glass of a Frigidaire oven exploding has been reported. That is why I am also submitting this report.
