It is a whirlpool gold black ceramic top. The replacemet cost of the part is arpound $350 which is much less than replacing the unit completly. I dont want to pay for a service call when I can probably do it myself. Any help would be greatly apreciated Vmar

You can find the break down diagrams here. I hope it will help. Gene.

In your opinion is that all there is to this? If so I'll order the new ceramics today. If not we may just put the money toward a new gas range instead. I wanted to save money but if I have to pay an installer I may as well trade up. Sincerest thanks, Vmar

You can try to disassemble it before ordering the new part. If one of the options is to replace the whole thing then there is nothing to loose. Gene.
