I've got a black Kenmore gas range and recently had part of a teakettle cap melt on the painted surface of it. I was able to scrape some of it off with a plastic scraper, but I'm afraid to do anything more in fear I might scratch the surface. I also turned on the burner for a bit in hopes that the plastic would soften enough for me to scrape it off, but that didn't work either. The part that is melted looks like large droplets of black water and it is extremely hard. Help?! (keep in mind, this is not a glass cooktop, but a black painted gas range)
Place several paper towles (damp or dry) over the melted on plastic and then use a hot iron (I used cotton setting with steam) on paper towles as it remelts plastic, paper towles lifts it from the top stove surface. It can take several go overs using new paper towles time. My niece left her doll too close to my stove and her dolly's hand and arm melted to my stove top, and this did the trick.
Try melting it with a propane torch heating the plastic only then when it's good and melted wipe it with a cloth be careful not to burn yourself wear leather industrial gloves melted plastic gets lava hot and will leave a nasty burn repeat the process until all plastic is gone
Very carefully''.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU MAY HAVE A WIRE BURNED. CAN YOU USE A MUTIMETER?

check the burner socket, it is likely that contact is being lost where the burner connects to the hardwired portion of the system (the socket). It is not unusual for the socket to "burn up" when there is a poor connection to the burner resulting in the burner being replaced and the new burner not working or working intermittently.
Please take the time to rate this solution

If you can break away the plastic then you will be fine, but never use a scraper on them. If all fails replace.

Unfortunately, these style cooktops are VERY fragile to scratching and cracking. The wrong kind of cookware can also mark them. Copper or aluminum pots and pans can discolor them. Do not use pyrex (glass) cookware on them either. Stainless is the best. NO CAST IRON either. Anyways, there's not much can be done without replacing the top itself.

try using a ceramic hob cleaner to get it off
