Customer Questions and Answers for Cooktop (Main Top) by Whirlpool

This main cooktop assembly provides the cooking surface and secures burners and components, restoring a level, finished top for safe cooking and improved appearance after cracks, warping, or heavy wear. What it does:

• Provides a stable, heat-resistant surface for cookware and supports burners/grates.
• Shields internal parts from spills, crumbs, and debris that can affect performance.
• Restores proper burner alignment and appearance when the original top is cracked, warped, or excessively scratched.
• Helps prevent food and liquid from entering the cooktop cavity and causing further damage.

• Disconnect electrical power (and gas supply if applicable) before starting any service.
• Handle carefully—edges and glass/enamel surfaces can be sharp or fragile.
• Installation typically requires removing burners, knobs, and fasteners; keep hardware handy for reassembly.
