How to Replace Cooktop Glass for a KitchenAid KERC607HWW8

The KitchenAid KERC607HWW8 is a consumer-grade range, which is designed for use in a residential setting. The range combines a stove and oven in one appliance, allowing for a full range of cooking options. The stove utilizes a glass cook-top that covers the four electric burners below. If the glass cooktop is damaged or shattered, do not attempt to use the stove or the oven until it is replaced. Although you can hire a repairman to replace the cooktop, you can get replacement parts online and save money by doing the repair yourself.
