How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker immediately. Do not use any burners on a cracked glass top; this is a shock and fire hazard.

Steps:

  • Do not use: Stop using the cooktop until the glass is replaced.
  • Order replacement: Using the full Magic Chef model number, order the correct glass top assembly.
  • Replace glass: Disconnect power, remove mounting screws securing the glass, lift it carefully, transfer any brackets or seals, and install the new glass top.
  • Inspect elements: While open, inspect radiant elements and wiring for damage from the impact and replace as needed.

Note: Avoid sliding heavy cookware across the glass and never place hot lids face-down on the surface.
