Description
The Cooktop Main Top is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas cooktops. It forms a continuous stainless steel cooking surface allowing heat from burners below to radiate up uniformly.
Causes of a bad main top can include grease and residue accumulation over time changing surface conductivity. Prolonged heat exposure also accelerates the deterioration of brushed stainless protective coatings.
Symptoms of a bad main top include:
- Unsightly scratches, staining, or discoloration reducing aesthetic value
- Inefficient or uneven burner heat transfer to pots
- Top that no longer seals close or stays securely in place
- Risk of exposure to raw gas if integrity is compromised
Compatible brands include KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and select Kenmore gas range models.
