How to wire a jenn air cooktop JEC9530ADB
the new cooktops and ovens now have a 4th wire used for separating the ground and neutral. some new homes and remodeled homes have a 4th wire run from the circuit panel to the unit.
you dont have this but it is ok to just hook up the white and green/ground wires together. then red to red and black to black. it will work properly and thats all you have to do.
I can not separate the glass cooktop from the granite surface.
alot of installers will use a silicone glue to "seal" the unit to the countertop. what happens is that means you cant get it out without cutting the glue off first.
it could also be that the unit is very tight in the countertop.
also did you remove the "hold down" screws from underneath the unit first??? there should be a screw on each side below the unit.
one more thing... do you have a gas line under your counter? if not be sure you can get a gas line to it before you try to remove the old unit. most homes have a finished ceiling under the kitchen and it would be almost impossible to install a new gas line if its not already there.
Tripping breaker
Replace the burner and receptacle and you should be short free. You may also need to replace the surface element switch too if it doesn't come on at all or stays on high regardless off knob setting.
Foil melted onto stove top. Left awful grey large smudge.
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser... or a new safety razor blade (the kind you would y=use to scrape paint from windows) held at a 45 degree angle and the Cerama-brite cream. Scrape firmly with cleaning cream in small 2" circles. One of those methods should take it off
I need to remove my Whirlpool Gold ceramic cooktop.
the safest way for a home owner to do this is turn the main breaker off to the house that is the safest way. Then poll the cover plate off the box in th wall with the two screws. not the screws on the round conduit. Then pull out the wire nuts that hold the wires together and un screw them to separate wires I would label them so you know what ones went together. After top is in just reverse the proses above.

Hi,
Problem solved. Followed the instructions given and successfully changed the cooktop.
It turned out that the front control panel needed removal in order to access the screws behind it. After that it was clear sailing.
Thanks for your help with this.
Melted plastic (teapot whistle) on glass cooktop
Hello. I don't know if this will work but you could try getting it as cold as you can and maybe it will come off that way. If it were me I would use my refrigerant, but I am sure you don't have that. Who knows maybe ice will work. Now that I think about it, maybe you can carefully use some sand paper being sure you don't scratch the surface.
