That model number is incomplete, what’s the rest of it?

You can find tips for locating the model and serial number identification tag on your appliances at the following link:

If you’re in Canada as I suspect by the partial model number you’ve posted, it will be longer than that. I don’t believe Appliance Parts Pros ships to Canada at this time.

Quite a bit different than originally supplied. :o

Yes that is the correct part number for the top in black on your model and yes it is designed for 5-surface elements.

Part has been ordered and expected to arrive on 7/15/09.

How difficult is it to install, I am quite handy. I guess it would help to know where the frame screws are located.

Thanks.

It’s usually quite involved although I don’t know that it would be “difficult”.

The top is most often held down by two screws under it’s front lip.
