How to Replace the Glass on a GE JP346BMBB Cooktop

A GE JP-series electric range features a smooth cooking surface. This is achieved with an acrylic glass cooktop. These cooktops can withstand high temperatures and are very durable. That being said, they can still be prone to damage. A cracked or broken cooktop can prevent you from using the unit at all. You can remove and replace a damaged cooktop yourself in a matter of minutes.
