Chapin W Seattle , WA August 26, 2021 Appliance: Model W10140999 (AP4358803) The cooktop cracked after it was about 10 years old only because I was boiling a pot of water Turned off power at box. Removed drawer below cooktop. Used screwdriver to remove two brackets holding cooktop fastened to underside of countertop. Lifted cooktop out of counter hole and pivoted it around on countertop (used towels to protect countertop) so I could work on it (unit is hardwired so could not unplug it and move it to a workspace). Used screwdriver to remove 10 screws, pulling cooktop (glass, frame and epoxied metal border) free from lower portion containing ceramic heat units. Fairly easy to remove glass and border from frame. Much more difficult to remove border from glass (used long screwdriver to pry it up). Took border outside and cleaned old epoxy off of border using Goo Off. Epoxied border to new glass piece and clamped to set. Reattached to frame. Affixed new foam tape (purchased separately at local hardware store) to under edge. Reattached frame to lower portion. Repositioned unit in counter hole. Reattached brackets and put drawer back in. Recommended purchase of seal was not used, so returned it. I would buy a new border next time, because removing and cleaning it was too much time and effort. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours Tools: Screwdrivers
