Cooktop install

The main problem is knowing what bits to take apart without disassembling the whole oven; here is the
best way I know after my 4 hour project was completed:

1. Pull out the range from the counter.


2. Remove the screw from each side on top/back of the unit just below the cooktop - silver in color.
3. Remove the handles and plastic rings from the control face plate, carefully unplug the wiring harness
and set faceplate aside.
4. Open oven door, in upper front section you will see 5 screws that hold the control panel on - remove.
5. Remove the steel control panel housing plate from the range - 4 screws.
6. Now the difficult part; you need to unfasten the cooktop assembly from the range - a number of
screws will be visible behind the wiring that goes to the housing plate(7 I believe) remove these
carefully. You may elect to disconnect all the wiring, but I chose not to.
7. Now you should be able to slide/lift off the cook top, you will need to unplug the wiring harness to lift
it completely off.
8. Place the old(broken, most likely) cooktop upside down on the floor or counter with the new one next
to it -- best to put a towel underneath the new one.
9. Remove all burner assemblies from the old one, and transfer to new one and secure with screws and
brackets. As all burners are tied together this is easiest with 2 people.
10. Reassemble in reverse order.

Good luck.

WB62T10528 Cooktop

WB18T10349 Indicator light

Broken glass main top

Unplug main power plug.

Removed two philips head screws on the sides near the rear of the stove.

Removed the four knobs and four switch brackets.

Remove Panel Overlay.

Remove two outer hex screws and remove Insert Panel for the controls.

Do not remove the controls from panel!

Pull Insert Panel out just far enough to remove the four hex screws for the Panel Control
Assembly and the four hex screws for the Glass Maintop panel.
Un-plug the 9-pin and 6-pin connectors for the burners. (Can't be put back together wrong!)

Remove the Glass Maintop and place upside down on a table.

Put the new Glass Maintop upside down next to it.

Remove the hex screws that hold the burners onto the old Glass Maintop.

With the help of another person, pick up the four burners and move them to the new Glass
Maintop and reinstall hex screws.

I would replace the Module indicator light, because the plastic clips will break off when
removing it from the old Glass Maintop.

Reverse the previous steps.

Note; New Glass Maintop gaskets come with the new Glass Maintop.

Answer Hello Sunny. Before removing the cooktop, the control panel must first be removed. The control
panel contains the ERC and infinite switches. To service: 1. Remove faceplate (reference section on
control panel assembly). 2. Remove screws (from bottom) securing control panel to vent trim. 3.
Remove steel control panel insert by removing 4 screws. 4. Detach from main harness by unplugging the
15-pin and 9-pin connector blocks. 5. Remove 5 screws securing the control panel to the maintop
assembly. 6. Control panel can now be removed. The cooktop is fastened to the body side extensions
with two (2) screws. Remove the 2 screws and slide the cooktop assembly forward. Lift the cooktop off.
