MY popcorn machine just exploded........Added pictures...
Visitor Q:
I think the hardest part maybe making sure you get all that glass out of there for safe popping. I hear when temp. glass breaks it puts a dust all over everything.

All 4 rubber feet are on the small table the machine would fall if not. I talked to the manufacture & they agreed the hinges are probably at a slight angle putting a slight stress on the door. A new machine is being sent out & I will be sending this one back so they can check everything to see why the door broke. This could be a huge liability for the manufacture.

Cool.
Let them clean it.
Ken Layton:
Well good, I'm glad the manufacturer is taking care of it.
All the commercial grade poppers we use at theaters only have glass on the sides and never on the doors. The side glass has the glass mounted in rubber channels to prevent stress/strain on the glass. The commercial ones have plexiglass doors for 1) they are opened and closed constantly and 2) it's easier to clean the machine each day when you can lift and remove the doors.

I have another theory to add to the mix: You have the machine right next to a window. How cold does it get where you are, and how drafty is the window? Where's the closest heat source?
