Replacement Procedures for a GE Glass Stove Top

A GE glass top stove can add an eloquent look to any kitchen. It can also be easier to clean than an open coil stove top because it contains spills and cooking debris instead of letting them fall beneath the stove top. There may come a time when your GE glass stove top becomes cracked or otherwise unusable and must be replaced. Purchase a new top from an authorized GE parts dealer, either online or locally. The installation process takes about an hour, even for the inexperienced.
