Cleaning Between the Glass on an Oven Door

About 5 years ago, it was definitely a Thursday...how do I know it was a Thursday?Because it was Thanksgiving. We had just bought a great double wall oven. The old one had bit the dust and wasn't keeping the temperature any more. So we had this great wall oven delivered just in time to entertain about 20 members of our family.
Things were going along great, all the sides were done, the turkey was done and ready to be removed from the oven. The only problem was that when removing the turkey from the oven he managed to drip, and that dripping found its way to the inside of the oven door. Yup dripping between the glass. And that is how my oven door has looked for 5 years.
See those vents in the door, they lead right to between the glass.
My screws did need a special screwdriver but I did have a drillbit that fit perfectly.
Eventually I found that only the top screws had to be removed. There are even springs inside the door to assist you.
Enjoyed the project?

That’s a great idea. My oven door is the same way, nasty, I tried cleaning it from the outside and the inside but nothing. I have to definitely let my husband do it. Thank you so much. I have never thought about that. Thank you, thank you for sharing. Enjoy your weekend.

We cleaned ours once the way U did by taking it apart. It was a pain in the butt. Since then my husband has gotten food in there again. I'm thinking of leaving it in there. BUT recently I discovered it's very effective to put a crafting magnetic strip over the openings as the food pans are being removed to keep anything from dripping down in there when he's careless.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I have done that already, but the inside glass is like a sealed glass sliding door that cannot be opened and that is where mine is stained, any thoughts?
I have a self cleaning oven-convection oven ... When I use the self cleaning position, the panel would burn out circuits! That means a service call and new parts. I stop using my self cleaning cycle. What is the beat way to clean a self cleaning - convection oven? I will trying to clean the glass in the door also.
I've been looking everywhere, maybe I missed it. What kind of oven/stove did you do this to? Can't imagine they're all the same. Great idea if it works!
