How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off all burners and disconnect power at the breaker. Do not use the cooktop with cracked glass; it is a shock and fire hazard.

  • Avoid use: Do not operate any surface elements until the glass top is replaced.
  • Order correct part: Obtain the exact replacement glass top for your Insignia model (check model number on rating plate).
  • Replace glass: Remove the range or cooktop from its location as needed. Remove screws securing the glass to the chassis, carefully lift off the damaged top, transfer any brackets or seals, and install the new glass. Handle with care to avoid cutting yourself on broken edges.
  • Inspect elements: While open, inspect radiant elements and wiring for damage from the impact and replace as needed.
