I have a Kenmore electric ceramic top range. While

I've seen mixed results across the internet on this one. From personal experience, for some reason, my glass teapot left some sort of stain on my ceramic stovetop. It also took longer to heat. I then went out and bought a simple metal one and have been pretty satisfied. If cosmetics are a concern, it's not too difficult a step to pour the water into your teapot after the fact, right?

By using the proper ceramic stove cleaner I use Affresh My have to use some elbow grease

I was cleaning my range hood and leaning over I somehow set the lock on the cook top. How do I unlock it?

It is a kenmore glass top stove about18 years old. One of the burners stop working just wondering if I can fix it myself?

The E1- F5 error is a door lock error.

The control (TIMER) has likely failed in this instance - BUT...

Sometimes when you disconnect power to a range and reconnect it the electronic range control gets confused.
You should disconnect power again for 15 seconds and reconnect and see if that helps.

If it doesn't cure the E1- F5 error hold the bake button in until E0- F2 appears in the display.
This is the error for a stuck button on the keypad and is the way to clear the memory of the electronic range control.

Sometimes these work, but if the control has failed it won't make any difference.

I had some luck removing food and other stains with the new Vielda Glass Ceramic Scrung (its a sponge)

"
"Special scour sponge for cleaning glass ceramic cook tops without scratching. Eliminates burnt-in stains and greasy dirt film. Removes grease and loose dirt particles. Microfibre side will create a streak free finish."

I found mine at Walmart. It was a little pricey but if you just use the sponge for the stovetop then it will last a very long time.

Hope this helps.
