I have a Viking Induction/Radiant Cooktop Model #VCCU1666BSB. That glass has broken on the cooktop and I’d like to replace it.
It has a total of 6 burners. 4 are radiant, and 2 are induction. Immediately over the 2 induction burners is a cotton like material that has pulled off the burners. It’s pretty fragile, and it flakes off.
I was able to find a source for the glass. It’s actually the entire top assembly - stainless frame and glass. However, I was told that to replace this cotton like seal, I’d have to replace both induction burners. The glass is almost $600. The burners would be another $400 - and there is nothing wrong with the burners. Since the heat doesn’t actually transmit through this material, it must be some kind of seal, or buffer between the burner and the glass?
Does anyone know what the material is? My first thought was to use a high temp silicone (good to 500-600F). That would still provide some support and some give. Or maybe cut a piece of silicone baking sheet to fit and install that between the burner and the glass?

MR.D,
We’re not going to be much help, sorry , but
Your best bet, would be to contact the Manufacturer(VIKING)
They could give you a better idea as to, what to use(maybe they have a kit) and the possible temperature rating for what you have in mind( I don’t think 500 to 600 dgrs is sufficient), but I could be wrong.
Who knows, they may even be willing to assist you on new parts ???
