Open door to about 15~20 degree angle, pull up on door and totally remove from stove. Lay face down on flat surface. Now can access all screws to separate the inner and outer panels and to replace the glass. To return to stove, use locking pliers to pull the door hinge stubs out to their 15 degree open position, slide door on and close.
If glass not broken, just can't see through, no need to remove door or glass. Use glass cooktop cleaner, apply and let soak 3 minutes, then use new single edge razor in holder to shave off the baked on grease. May have to repeat 3x then switch to glass cleaner and clean again 3x, should be quite clean and clear unless seal has failed on the double pane thermal glass and internally obscured in which case the only cure is to replace the glass... return to paragraph 1.
To separate the inner glass from the door. Unscrew the sixsided screws sitting in the middle of a back plastc box that retains the glass at the bottom of the inner glass on each side. Once the screws are out , remowe the small boxes and lift the lower part of the glass before pulling it towards you. There are four sticky pads that keep the glass in place, so make sure they stay in place when you remove the inner glass and clean the door. To refit, reverse the operation.
open the door, loosen the two large screws (t20x or large flat head) near the top of the inner door, this will loosen the main outer door and you can slide it up and off. Look to the hinges and you will see retaining brackets held with two t20x screws, remove these and you then slide the rest of the door off enabling you to work on it on a flat surface. Lie it down with the broken glass as the lowest part. Remove two t20x screws from the two plastic holders near the top of middle frame, slide them out and remove the middle angled frame. Pay attention to which groove in the bottom of the door they are positioned for reassembly. You are now faced with a frame with absolutely mountains of t20x screws which will all have to be removed. when this is done, lift off the frame and you are left with the inner frame, broken glass and mesh panel. carefully take off the mesh screen and discard the broken glass ensuring that you do not inadvertently throw away the black thin seal (looks like a large rubber band). Use a toothbrush to ensure all glass is removed from the inner frame and that the inner edge of the frame is free from food debris etc (This is probably what caused the glass to shatter as the microwaves are attracted to food debris and would have cooked the glass causing a hotspot, this is usually evident if you look at the starting point of where the glass broke). Give the seal a clean also and reposition in the groove around the inner edge of the first frame. position the new glass panel, position the mesh screen and the middle frame. When putting all the screws back in, alternate them. left right top bottom until they are all back in (do not over tighten). Then reassembled the rest of the door by reversing the dismantling info. Let me know how you get on, please leave some feedback.
You should be able to repair your existing door.
Have a look around the perimeter of the door to see if there are any screws, particularly near the handle. You are looking to take the front fascia off the door, so that you can access the inside. Most doors have the front fascia held on by small brackets glued to the back of the glass that clip on to a fixing on the internal door. The top of the fascia is normally held in place by the handle.
Once you have the front of the door off you can retrieve the piece of glass that has fallen out. You will almost certainly find that the glass has come away from the adhesive that was used to hold it in place.
You will need to clean up the glass and the metal door and re-stick the glass using a high temperature oven door glue
Sorry this is the only way to clean in there but if you take the door completely off and set it on a drop cloth Then take it apart it makes it a little easier
