Re: HOW DO i REMOVE THIS COOKTOP THAT IS ALREADY...
For most cooktops no tools are needed they simply lift out... at the most there are a couple of clips underneath that need to be loosened with a screw driver...

You should be able to if you have a few tools. First take a few photos as you go so you always know how to put it back together again. Once completed spray around the gas lines with soapy water to check for leaks. Good luck

Problem: Error codes 26 or 42 after turning on too many heating elements. Potential issue: Damaged main electronic board
Specific case: Error code 42 after turning on more than 3 elements, then already after 2, 1 until none of the cooking element could be turned on, over a period of a few weeks. Root cause: Dying/blown electrolytic capacitor on the main electronics board.
Solution: 1) Turn off power (circuit breaker) - caution high voltage inside the cooktop 2) Lift the cooktop out of the hole in the countertop and slide it on a flat surface 3) Remove all screws around the metal housing using a torx screwdriver 4) Carefully tilt the glass top out of the housing on the front, noting that there are electrical connections in the rear, and place the rear end of the glass on a stable surface. You may need someone's assistance here. 5) After double-checking that there is no power, record the color coding of the four wires connected to the glass assembly (green for ground, white, black, red from left to right) 6) Next open the black plastic cover by removing four Torx screws. 7) Carefully remove from the connector on the left the the plastic strip connecting to the display board. 8) Carefully remove the circuit board with relays and capacitors that is held in place by plastic tabs. 9) If one of the capacitors is bulging out or showing sings of damage on top, replacing it may fix the appliance. De-soldering a bad capacitor requires some tools and skill. Replace the capacitor with at least the same capacity, voltage and use high-temp. 105C version) Alternatively, instead of replacing a $2 component you will have to replace the entire board. 10) Reassemble and done.
Firstly turn the power off. Lift the cooktop out from the benchtop and lean it against the wall. There will be a small panel where the wiring terminates into the cooktop. Remove the panel and disconnect the wiring to the cooktop. Ensure that you insulate all wires properly. You can then turn the power back on if you need to.
was you cooktop in good working order prior to your counters being installed? How old is it? If so i would suggest you get the electrician back who re-installed it & get him to check it out. Could be a loose wire.
To replace the cooktop the first thing you need to do is turn off the breaker outside that supplies the power to the cooktop.. Then go under the cooktop in the cabinet and follow the flex power cord to the wall. Remove the cover plate on that box in the wall. un connect the wires from the wires in the wall. Next look up at the bottom of the cooktop to make sure there is no clamps that hold the cooktop to the counter top. if there is remove the. Then just lift the cooktop off the counter top. from here you just reverse the steps to put the new one in.

well usually you have to remove the knobs. thentake all of the caps off of the burners. sometimes there are scres that hold the burner caps on. make sure you turn the power off. Then after you have done this the glass should come right off. If not there may be screws under the cooktop. Do these first steps and let me know how it goes.
There should be removabe clamps attatched to the bottom of the cooktop which tighten with a screw to the bottom of your countertop. Loosen the screws to the countertop, then remove the screws that attach the brackets to the cooktop. The cooktop should then be able to be pulled out.
grab hold of the installed burner cartridge at he top of unit and pry up slightly, should lift up without much effort, if not try lifting front side. they jsut lift up and slide back in no screws hold them in place
