John G Red Bank , NJ December 01, 2015 Appliance: Model KECC 508 Burners partially lit on kecc 508 kitchenaid cooktop Ordered 2 replacement elements. Then performed the following: 1. Shut off power to cooktop (IMPORTANT) 2. Remove the brackets holding cooktop in. (under counter, I had 2) 3. Push up cooktop from under counter, you will need to lift cooktop about 3 inches from counter top. I used 2 furring strips to hold cooktop up. 4. Remove the philips head screws holding the glass top on. I had 10, 2 on each side, 3 front and rear. 5. Carefully work the glass cooktop loose from its base. Dont use too much force the glass top is delicate, if it seems to tight carefully use a putty knife to loosen the top. 6. Remove the glass top, the burners are now exposed. Two clips hold each burner in, just pull up on the burner it will release from the base. 7. Now remove the electrical clips to the burner one at a time and connect them to the new burner. (I had to use a needle nose to pull each contact off. i had 3 on each burner) 8. After I wired both burners I pressed each one back into the cooktop with the old clips that were on the defective burners to hold them in place. 9.I placed thin weather stripping aroung the cooktop to seal it. Im sure you could get the seal tape but i used weather stripping. 10. Replace the 10 screws holding the glass on and position the cooktop back into the counter. 11. Replace the brackets holding in the cooktop. 12. Turn on the power Read More... 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
