Quote:do you think I could get a windshield repair guy out to fill in the glass cracks? 1. It is not "glass" but a glass-ceramic composite. 2. Once the surface tension of the material is broken (like by a crack or chip), the strength of the whole ceramic top is compromised. It can not be repaired. :(  You should also not use the glass top once cracked as further failure could occur, possibly explosively. Persons nearby could be at risk of being struck by flying shards/pieces. :eek: Quote:Could you point me in the direction of aftermarket inventory companies? I don't know of any specific companies that stock old parts. You'd just have to search around to see if you could find a vendor with old stock they happen to still have kicking around their warehouse. (I wouldn't hold your breath though.) The part you're looking for is Amana/Caloric/Maytag # 308741BThere will be no "aftermarket" replacement available for such an item, it is too specialized. You'll have to find someone with stock on hand of the OEM part or maybe try to find a similar whole appliance up for sale you can rob that part from. JFYI Dan O. www.Appliance411.com
