How to Replace a Stainless Steel Trim Glass Cooktop

The glass top on your stainless steel cooktop is easy to clean and has a modern appearance. However, the glass can be shattered with the use of the improper cookware or by dropping a heavy item on it. Fortunately, if the glass shatters or chips, you can replace it and avoid purchasing a new cooktop. You can purchase a new piece of glass directly from the manufacturer or from an appliance repair store by providing your cooktop’s model number.
