The Cooktop Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is the complete glass surface that spans the cooking area, providing a smooth, seamless cooking zone.
The cooktop assembly is responsible for housing the underlying heating elements and ensuring an even distribution of heat across the cooking surface. It allows for flexible cooking configurations with multiple burners or induction zones.
Causes of a bad cooktop assembly can include cracks or chips in the glass, malfunctioning temperature sensors, or damaged heating elements.
Symptoms of a bad cooktop assembly include:
- Burners or zones that do not heat properly
- Uneven or inefficient heat transfer
- Cracks, chips, or scratches that compromise the seal
Color: White with black glass
