Answer Hello Cheryl! Here is the information from the manufacturer. Thanks!
Raising Main Top: (smooth top models) 1. Disconnect power and open the oven door. 2. Remove the two screws holding the front of the top to the front frame and lift the front of the top up. Removing the Elements:(Smooth top models) 1. Disconnect power and raise the main top. 2. The elements are held against the glass by two bars, one for the two front elements and one for the two back elements. 3. The bar is held to the main top by two screws on one end and a tab on the other. Remove the two screws and swing the bar down. 4. Mark and disconnect the wires." If you're careful, you may not need to disconnect the wires from the elements, Reverse the procedure and test the cooktop for operation.
I have cracked the cooktop and will be ordering the new part. Is this easy to replace? Are there instructions we can follow?
