The glass on our Maytag stovetop is cracked. We are looking at ordering the parts directly from this site, but need instructions to know if we can replace this ourselves, or if we need to have a local shop do the installation. Can you help by directing us to the instruction manual?
Thank you!

MJ,
Here’s some basic information, to help you out.
Replacing the cooktop on a range is a relatively easy process, just cumbersome.
"Disconnect appliance from power source. Open oven door and remove the two 1/4 in. hex head screws that securethe top to a flange located just above the oven door. Screws are located at the front corners of the top.
After the screws have been removed, grasp the top with both hands firmly, and pull the range top forward, disconnect the multi pin wiring harness connector. Lift the top upward and remove.
After the the top is removed, you now have access to the door latch assembly,door lock switches, hot surface indicator lights, and elements.
Place the cooktop on a padded flat surface, label and mark all components and wiring, and transfer the parts from the original to the new cooktop."
Thanks, and Good Luck
Thank you for your information! Are there any special tools or sealant we need to replace the glass? And does anything attach to the glass, itself, or does it merely lay on the surface of the wires/burners, etc?
MJ,
No, you wont need any special tools, sealants, etc. You’ll have everything you need with the new top.
There are a number of screws and clips that secure the burner assembly(s)
the wiring harness and indicator lights to the bottom of the top, but nothing major, nothing you can’t handle, I’m sure.
