Whirlpool 8285096 Cooktop, Glass (Black) OEM Part

I contacted Appliance Pros and ordered a new top. I told them only ship it the cheapest way. I ordered it on Friday Morning. I looked on the porch on Sat. afternoon and there was the top. I couldn't believe it. I repaired it and installed it on Monday. Excellent service and unbelievable shipping time. Thank You so much.

Turned off electricity to the stove. Removed the four heat control dials from the top of the cooktop. Removed the rubber seal that was below each dial. On the underside of the stove counter there were 4 brackets that held the stove box to the counter so that it could not be lifted or moved out of the counter. Each bracket was attached to the stove box by one phillips head screw. Removed the screens freeing the box and cooktop for removal. Upon removal there were 10 phillips head screws that attached the cooktop to the box. Removed the ten screws and removed the broken cooktop from the box. Put the new cooktop back on the box and reinstalled it in reverse order.

Replaced glass.

I was having difficulty getting the correct size glass. I chatted with a representative and she helped get the correct size glass along with any other items i was going to need to install and keep the glass clean.

It was very easy to order the replacement glass from AppliancePartsPros.com and it arrived in two days. It took about 45 minutes to replace the glass. The old glass was 10+ years old so the new one looks fantastic and this fix was 1/3 of the cost of a new cooktop!
