R Scott W Verdi , NV March 08, 2017 Appliance: Maytag 30" Electric Built-In Downdraft Cooktop JED8430BDB18 Maytag Cooktop Jed8430bdb18: Chipped cooktop glass. How to replace Cooktop (Top Panel). This was an easy fix on my Jenn-Air: I just had to lift the cooktop out of the counter and then take out a few screws around the sides of the unit to lift off the old glass surface. Then just set the new glass top in place and put the screws back. The burners, etc. are not connected to the glass cooktop so you don't have to do disconnect/connect them or any other internal parts. 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
