Same here. ALWAYS happens when I boil a whole chicken. Goes off & starts flashing about 3/4 thru. I just assumed it's to hot for to long. it's glass top. Anybody know?

Check if your cookware is compatible with this ceramic cooktop.

Replaced main glass cooking surface on cooktop

First, shut of the breaker to the cooktop.
Then removed two screws to release brackets holding cooktop down. Then lifted the cooktop out of the recess in the counter top and removed the screws around the outside of the glass top. Removed the old, cracked top, by unplugging from the motherboard.
Turned the new cooktop upside down on table and placed weather stripping around the entire underside outside edge (to keep spills from going under the cooktop and cushion the cooktop from the counter top.
Then plugged the new cooktop into the motherboard, replaced screws around outside edge, lowered the cooktop into the recess in the counter, and reinserted the two screws into the hold-down brackets.
Turned the breaker back on.
Note: Just need Screw drivers and 40 minutes of your time.

Hello,

the problem is from a wire connection inside the unit. Heat may have melted the wire of the small burner that is not heating. I believe there is no power entering into the smaller burners, that's why its not heating.

You will need to open the burner, check the wire connections inside and make sure you reconnect any burnt/disconnected wire and make sure everything is in place.

Once this is done, it should heat up again.

Good luck.

Unfortunately you have to wait until it dries out. I have tried hairdryer before but most of the time I have had to leave it off overnight. FYI if you dont shut off at the circuit breaker and the sparking continues it will short out and definitely get worse

You can't modify gas appliances.

I have an early 1970s GE, and we keep saying when it breaks down, we will replace it, but apart from replacing elements, it just goes on and on. Unfortunately, neither of your numbers give results. There should be a plate near the power lead that has the details and some have a parts manual and wiring diagram in the rear of the console if it has one. https://www.google.com/search?q=GE+82212+cooktop https://www.google.com/search?q=GE+YT123887L+cooktop ..

Question edited for clarity. There is no fuse, the loads are too great. The Service Manual is in the link. Check the Control Lock on Page 11. https://ja.safe-manuals.com/source/pdf/adea1af72b5b020af66562d603ff2631 https://www.google.com/search?q=ge+pp975s+fuse+location ....

It is a gas appliance. From the installation manual. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. It needs to come out as there is almost certainly fixings from below. Screws on the burners, only hold the burner rings down. The installation manual doesn't say how the top comes off, just how to install. No Service Manual for it. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/57348/Ge-Jgp630.html?page=1#manual ..
