Customer Questions and Answers for Cooktop (Black) by Whirlpool

Hello Marion, To replace it remove power to the unit. Then set towels surrounding the circumference of the unit ion the counter top. Lift the unit up and set it "kitty-corner" on top of the counter top. Then use a 1/4" nut driver to unscrew the side screws that hold the top down. Remove all knobs and rubber grommets that surround the shaft holes. The burners will stay inside the unit. As you are lifting the top off, carefully note where the electrical connections go. Take a cell phone picture if needed. Use a shop vac to clean all broken glass if needed. On the back of the new top is the "top"of the control panel for the switches. You will need to use a pair of needle nose pliers to depress the circuit board stand off clips on all 4- corners that hold the board "sandwiched" together. You will need these boards to insert on the new top assy. Be extra careful of any electrical connector and take note of them. Use a cell phone to picture the connections if needed. Then Its just a matter of swapping out parts and reassemble in reverse. Thanks!
