The outside glass of my GE oven ended up breaking and it doesn't seem like I'm having luck finding the exact replacement for the model I have, so my question is does anyone know if there is any that would interchange with GE JBP23DN1Ww. If anyone can help me out with this I greatly appreciate it.

Entering the GE model number into partselect.com, yields a parts diagram of the door, a statement that the door bears GE Manufacturer's part no. WB56T10189, and that this part is no longer available.

Entering part number WB56T10189 in the ebay.com search box returns a number of sellers who offer pre-owned doors and door glass.

    Appliance parts - a total scam. Sure, we have part numbers, but we want you to buy a whole new oven, so we don't actually make the parts you'll need, that would hurt new oven sales....

    @Ecnerwal I echo this sentiment, having had problems with fridge shelves not having extant replacement parts 🙃

    @bertieb The near future hopefully will provide freely downloadable models of appliance parts that could be printed on 3D printers at ones home or local makerspace / public library (or ordered from companies who print arbitrary objects and deliver via mail-order). Commented Aug 8, 2022 at 22:45

    So far this year I've had to replace an entire range and washing machine because a part is no longer manufactured or available (even used on ebay).

Even if there is one to find, it will be ridiculously expensive. Faced with similar problem, I went to local "Glass-cutter", those guys cut glass for windows, from large sheets of glass, also mirrors of all sizes.. They ordered from literal glass factory a new cast glass for me. The point is, the oven window is tempered glass, it cannot be cut or drilled, since it shatters. I gave them the whole door or the oven that I've detached, along with handle. And took them whole month to find time to make a cast and pour molten glass and temper it for me. It cost me about $40 altogether. But it fits perfect and now looks more modern!

    I disagree that used parts will be "ridiculously expensive." Try entering the part number in eBay, as I suggest in my answer, and see what comes up. Commented Aug 8, 2022 at 20:51
  • @Magna1 That’s pretty creative thinking - thanks for the answer! Commented Aug 8, 2022 at 22:46

    Where do you live that you can get custom tempered glass for only $40?
