How to Replace a Kenmore Electric Stove Top

If the glass is broken or damaged on your Kenmore electric range's stovetop, you must remove it and install a new stovetop prior to resuming use of the range. Below the stovetop are several burners attached to cross braces, which bind the burners to the underside of the glass. Once you gain access to the underside of the stovetop, you must remove the cross braces from the glass, at which point the top can be removed.
