Bernard G North Palm Beach , FL November 12, 2014 Dropped a wine bottle on a jen air glass range top and broke it Once you are resigned to disconnecting the exhaust fan system under the range so you can remove the range from the surrounding counter, the rest is easy. once out, its 8 screws to remove the top and 8 screws to remove the heating elements, and 2 simple wire conneop back onto the stovectors. I labeled the elements before I removed them just to be sure they got back where they came from. zip zip, all was back in place on the new top and the the top back on the stove. the only trouble is reconnceting the exhaust fan after the stove is back in place. The next one will take 15 minutes start to finish. Read More... 13 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers, Socket Set
Howard P Fairhope , AL June 15, 2015 Broken cook top on jenn air range (they are not dropped screwdriver proof!) Used the leveling legs and shims to raise the cooktop above the counter tops. This allowed me to access the screws and replace the top without having to disconnect the down draft fan (the hardest part!)

Darren D Dardenne Prairie , MO October 25, 2016 The cooktop glass was broken Replacing the cooktop glass takes about 20 minutes and the only tool needed is a 1/4" nut driver. Best with an impact driver or drill, because you'll be "tapping" the holes in the sheetmetal of the new top. 1. Pull out the unit from the cabinet. Disconnect the Power, or turn off the circuit breaker. 2. remove 3 1/4" sheetmetal screws from each side, about an inch below the glass 3. remove 2 more from the back. 4. carefully lift the front up enough to disconnect the wire harness for burners on left and right 5. Turn over the glass and remove the screws holding the burners in place. There are 2 for each burner. 6. Transfer the 4 burners and wire harness to the replacement top (easier with a helper) 7. Replace all the screws, replace the top, reconnect the wire harness and put all the screws back in place. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers
