Our power almost went off, the stove started beeping and the oven locked. This happened a year ago, a repairman came and just reset it under the stovetop which is ceremic. I can't figure out how to get the stovetop off ... I was in a wheelchair last year and couldn't see what he was doing. Can you help me?

The repair man would have had to open the door first to get at the screws.

What he likely used is a coat hanger straitened out with a u-shaped hook at one end.

He then inserted the hanger on the left side of the range and hooked the lock and pull with medium pull pressure and released the door.

With the door opened you will now see the two screws one in each corner.

With the two screws removed the top can be removed.
