I have a KitchenAid KESS907SSS 30" Slide-In Electric Range with a broken glass cooktop. I have the replacement cooktop and want to do the replacement myself as I live on a remote island. It looks like there are two screws behind the front control panel which need to be removed in order to facilitate the removal. Is this correct? Is there any other things I need to be aware of before I start this project? thanks, Fred

Razor blade paint scraper at 45 degree angle, then use non-metallic dish scrubber with stove top cleaning product.

It looks as if you need to remove the whole cook top to replace the glass top, incidently that is a 400 dollar item, so you have to take care. See: http://www.partselect.com/PartDetail.aspx?Inventory=2341162&SourceCode=5&ModelNum=jed8430#RepairStory

you can oder/buy the range top!! i have a unit that is similar to your's and the top when i replaced it cost me around $240 you cna order it from online or from sears

Water probably did get into the switch(es). The best bet for a fast fix is to pull the knobs off and use an air can (like for blowing dust out electronics) to blow down into the holes. This will dry out any water in there and should allow you to use it again. To be extra sure, blow out the switches and leave the knobs off over night. In the morning the knobs can be replaced and the cook top should be good to use. Hope this helps!

You may have melted the bottom of the pan you were using into the glass. Copper bottom and alum pans sholdnot be used at high temps on a glass top. (never use porclin or glass pots)High temps can etch(mark or discolor) the glass.

big job... too much money

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.

go to searsparts.com could be switch or burner or high temp fuse under glass

Have you tried using a razor blade scraper. Also I have found Ceramabrite cooktop cleaner to be a very good product. There is also a less abrasive scouring pad available specifically for glass cooktops.
