Shorter Tabs
Foam Tape
Caution: The cooktop has instant-on HOT surface
indicator lights. Wiring reversals can cause a direct
electrical short after all 4 surface units heat up and
close all 4 limiter switches. Check the wire termina-
tions for proper polarity of all L1 and L2 wires, H1 and
H2 wires, and heater HOT light terminals #2 and #4.
25. Carefully shape the heater and HOT light wires to
avoid the center chassis rails, but do not allow the
wires to touch the metal heater cans.
26. Skip to Reinstalling Glass Cooktop section to
complete reassembly and installation into
countertop.
Broken Glass Replacement
Caution: Fiber ceramic material on the heating element
is very fragile–avoid contact.
• When servicing the cooktop, care must be taken not to
scratch the glass.
• The cooktop has instant-on HOT surface indicator
lights. Wiring reversals can cause a direct electrical
short after all 4 surface units heat up and close all 4
limiter switches. Check the wire terminations for proper
polarity of all L1 and L2 wires, H1 and H2 wires, and
heater HOT light terminals #2 and #4.
Note: The glass cooktop should be serviced by remov-
ing the entire cooktop from the countertop opening. The
glass and metal subplate are sealed together and are
replaced as an assembly.
1. Carefully open one end of the package containing
the replacement glass cooktop, then slide out the
glass and protective styrofoam packaging. Save a
packet of 1/4-in.-wide foam gasket tape for Step 4.
2. Place one piece of the flat syrofoam packaging on a
smooth tabletop and place the new glass subassem-
bly face up. Check for any breakage or damage
before proceeding. Flip the glass face down onto the
styrofoam block with the control holes toward you.
Do not remove nylon filament tape from the glass
edge.
3. Using a pair of pliers, gently bend back only the
shorter tabs around each heater opening about 5
degrees to ease assembly of the heaters later.
4. Install new 1/4-in.-wide foam gasket tape
(WB25K10003) along the outer edge of the glass, on
top of the nylon filament tape.
5. Place the other piece of flat styrofoam packaging
beside the new glass subassembly as a place to put
the old glass subassembly when removed from the
cooktop chassis. This provides a side-by-side work
area to transfer heaters and HOT lights safely to the
new glass subassembly.
