A measuring cup accident left a North Canton homeowner with a cracked glass cooktop on her Kenmore range. When we arrived on Adena Street NE, we found the glass top had both cracked and developed a hole where the measuring cup had dropped.
The Problem
The customer reported that a measuring cup had dropped on the glass cooktop, resulting in both cracks and a hole in the glass surface.
Diagnosis
The glass cooktop sustained significant damage from the impact, with visible cracks radiating from the point of contact and a hole penetrating the surface. This type of damage renders the cooktop unsafe for use.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts replaced
- Work performed: Cooktop no longer available. Checking into used options for her. Shoveled her sidewalk.
- Result: Investigating replacement options for discontinued part
Is It Worth Repairing?
When replacement parts are no longer available from the manufacturer, finding used or aftermarket options becomes necessary. For older Kenmore ranges, sourcing discontinued glass cooktops can be challenging but sometimes possible through salvage yards or appliance parts specialists.
Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Ranges
- Keep glass cooktops clear of heavy items that could fall and cause damage
- Use cookware with flat, smooth bottoms to prevent scratching the glass surface
- Clean spills immediately while the surface is still warm but not hot to prevent permanent staining
