Perform Steps 1. thru 17. in Glass Cooktop Removal
from Countertop section.
18. Verify that the flat styrofoam packing material from
the new glass subassembly is in place on a table or
countertop to be used as a work surface.
19. Place the broken glass and metal subplate assembly
appearance-side down on the above-mentioned
styrofoam packing surface.
20. Remove 7 rubber grommets from the broken glass.
Wet the rim of all 7 holes in the new glass by using a
drop of liquid soap on your fingertip to lubricate the
hole before reinstalling the grommets. Gently twist
(do not force) the grommet through the hole.
21. Remove the heater’s hairpin cotter clips and springs
from the 6-in. heater, the bridge heater, and the dual
heater.
22. Remove 2 special screws from each HOT light
bracket on the left and right sides.
Caution: To prevent glass breakage, save and replace
with exact screws (#8-18 x 1/4-in.).
23. Lift out the bridge heater with the wiring and HOT
lights intact and transfer to the new glass. Make
sure the metal locating tabs do not go inside the
metal heater can during assembly.
24. Lift out the 6-in. and dual heaters together with
wiring and HOT lights intact and transfer them to the
new glass assembly in a similar manner.
25. Reinstall all heater springs and cotter hairpin clips.
26. Reinstall both left and right HOT light brackets using
the special #8-18 x 1/4-in. screws.
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 if
any wires were removed.
27. 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.
Proceed to Reinstalling Glass Cooktop section to
complete reassembly and installation into countertop.
