How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and do not use the cooktop. Cracked glass can expose live parts and cause electric shock.
Steps to address:
- Do not operate: Avoid using any burners until the glass top is replaced.
- Order replacement: Use the full model number to order the correct Hotpoint glass cooktop assembly.
- Replace top: Remove control knobs, screws, and lift the old glass top. Transfer elements and brackets to the new top, following the original layout.
- Inspect elements: While open, inspect radiant elements for damage and replace if necessary.
