Yes I did it, wow it is expensive, but I'm in hot water, or without boiling hot water until I replace the top. I've read the post regarding your procedure to replace the glass top, but it seems like the glass is glued with adhesive to the top of the range. My thought is to slice through the bond with a putty knive and pry the top off, is that right? I don't see any screws that hold the top down, Help Sheila! Thanks again for this forum

The glass is mounted on a frame that will come with the new glass.

To replace the top you will have to slide the range out from the installed position.

Turn the gas off and unplug the range.

Disconnect the downdraft blower.

Raise the range enough to clear the cabinetry.

Remove the screws securing the top burner assembly to the lower burner assembly.

Label and disconnect the wire terminals to the ignitors.

Remove the perimeter screws securing the main top to the chassis.

Gently lift the main top away from the chassis.
