How to Replace Kenmore Glass Top Stoves

The glass panel on your Kenmore stove is sturdy enough to withstand the weight of several large objects placed on top of it. However, it will break if mistreated. When the glass breaks, you must immediately turn off the burners. Only resume use of the range after a new glass panel is installed. Rather than hiring a service technician to replace the panel, make the repair yourself to save time and money.
