How to open top of whirlpool gold stove - Whirlpool Stove / Oven / Range Cooktop - 4456865

IF you open the door to the stove, you will see screws under the lip of the cook top, take those out, check the back of the stove for screws and then lift the cook to. On some models you may have to remove the sides of the stove too.

Remove the front panel to find where the gas injectors enter the burner tubes you will see they are cut away and have a screw holding an outer ring which is adjustable, open them up more to get more air in .

Lift the top of your stove, then look for a connector or plug, wire that has pushed up near or against the stove top. Where the wires connect to the burners one or more may be loose an needs tightening.

You don\'t need to remove the top. The thermostat is the long skinny tube in the oven that comes up to the railcock behind the oven control knob, remove the front panel to get the railcock/thermostat out which has the tube attached to it.

I have a whirlpool flat top stove on the big front burner switch what colors go we're like the h1 h2 and the rest that hooks up

Usually this is from moisture getting into a spark ignitor switch, which is located under your burner knobs. A pan boiling over, someone cleaning your cooktop and using a sprayer, too much water on a sponge, very high humidity, can all get moisture into a switch. Recommend you unplug your cooktop for a few days and see if your switch dries out. Plug it back in an see if it works properly again. If it doesn't then you will have to replace one, or all of the switches, depending if they come seperately or in a set. This entails removing the top of the cooktop, which can be very difficult if not impossible in some cases. Heat and corrosion go together, so in just a few years the screws or nuts that hold the burners down onto the cooktop are so corroded that you cannot remove them without chiseling the nuts off or drilling out the screws, which then damages the burner bodies underneath. Can make it unrepairable in some cases. Drying the unit out works about 80% of the time. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists

Hi
Look under the counter top find the bolts that secures the stove top, unplug the power and remove the top, then look around the edges of the stove top and you should see some small screws that atach the glass to the frame, remove those and lift the glass carefuly, "DO YOUR THING" and then just reverse the steps and done.

I want to say that since I posted my original problem with black spots appearing on the Schott Ceran top, I took pictures of the top and attached them to a complaint sent to Maytag. Approximately 3 days later, a Maytag representative phoned and offered a brand new top-basically stating that there is a fault with the tops. They would not pay for the labor to replace the top. My husband downloaded the instructions from Maytag website and installed it himself. These spots actually appear from within the surface and are not the result of a boil over, etc. The spots on my burner grew to the width of the burner. If you search the internet, you will see many others with the same problem with the Schott Ceran tops. I will never buy another!
