Use this scraper for your ceramic/glass cooktop. It has a retractable blade and is an all-purpose tool for cooktops, mirrors, windows and tile. Use it to also remove paint, paper, dirt, stickers and more.
I removed only 3 screws that allowed me to lift the glass top on the stove. I removed the burner and I could see where it short circuited. I ordered the new burner element. After it arrived I replaced it by moving the wires from the old element to the new element, and put it back together. I am sure that I saved at least $200 in "labor".
removed 2 screws holding top in place witch gave me ac access to none working part. removed 5 screws witch let me remove part, reversed order to reinstall part, very easy Donald Carpenter
