How to Replace a Ceramic GE Profile

GE Profile ranges are available in gas, electric and dual-fuel models. Electric ranges have a ceramic stove-top panel that has several burners below the surface. The ceramic panel gives you a flat surface on which to work in your kitchen. If a heavy object is dragged across or dropped onto the ceramic panel, the panel can be scratched or broken. If that happens, you must remove it and install a new one.
