Kathy Y Garland , TX April 30, 2017 The downdraft filter and the drip pans were crumbling with age! i found appliance pros online and found exactly what i needed to fix the problem I just cleaned up the cooktop, removed the old filter and drip pans and popped in the new ones. Nothing to it! Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
