Cracked glass top stove. is it covered under a waranty? it is maybe 4 years old. brought at sears its a whirlpool stove.

most of the time for this to happen something would have had to been dropped or excessive weight on the unit ... it is possible over time the unit had a unseen hairline crack and the heat has caused it to become worse... the glass for these units are ridiculous in cost but can be repaired...
several online sites sell parts.... a few reputable companies are

sounds like a stress fracture is your cooktop supported well

hi...no nid to replace the ceramic top,coz it is very expensive compare to buy a new one.the price of the glass ceramic top is mostly half or 3/4 of the actual price of the new one.much beter to buy an new one,get an new & the warranty but the glass is not covered in waranty for all brand.

are u sure u want to replace the ceramic glass top,much beter to check the price of the unit, coz it is very expensive almost halt the price of the new one...dont try to replace it by ur self coz the glass cover is no waranty if u broke or wrong intallation,u waste ur money if hapen that,much beter to canvas first & call an expert tecnician to do it.

A small crack, turns into a big crack, Short of ordering a new piece of glass, there is no "fix" sorry. YOu can continue to use it, but eventually it will run across the cook top, and then shatter the glass... Better be safe than sorry.

HI
You should be able to replace the top only.
Normally if this is your fault, it is not covered by warranty. Normally this would be if you dropped something onto it. This would leave like a star shap series of cracks.
If its down to manufacture, this should be covered under warranty. This damage normally looks like just one long crack, no impact mark.
Check with the manufacturer

Hello
Welcome to Fixya
My name is Huum,
You can replace the smooth top !.
But I will tell you not to spend more than half the price of a new stove. How old is the stove and what's the model number!
Waiting your response.

I located a company that supplies a new top but only to find that the tops are 400.00 anyway. I ended up purchasing a new stove to solve the problem.

I not know of any means of repairing same (maybe the system used to fuse auto glass) but if you want to replace it try repairclinic.com Item 935927 or 948440 $216/$227

The cooktop box has a metal flange. Make sure the cooktop when dropped into the countertop is resting on ther metal flange and not the glass edge by itself. If it rests on the glass alone the weight will cause the glass to crack at some point in time.
