neesek Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Oh no! My dh dropped our pepper grinder on my glass cooktop today and now it has a big crack from front to back. :( Has this ever happened to anyone? Can the cooktop be replaced or will that cost as much as getting a whole new range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan in SC Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yes! Ours cracked and had to be replaced. Our warranty covered it, but I saw the bill and it was about $150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy in C-ville Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I was thawing out frozen soup in the microwave above the stove. I dropped the frozen soup and it shattered the cooktop. I was so sad. It cost ~ $400 to replace it and that was 8 years ago. Hope it's not so costly for you! ~Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicGyrl Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Dh sells these things and he says that it depends on how much you paid for the stove. When his boss cracked his top, it would have cost him $400 to replace just the top--better off getting a new stove :( Research the cost of your stove, if the cooktop is half of that or more, get a new stove with warranty.

Sandra in NC Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Ack! A new one cost $550. It doesn't seem right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neesek Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Sigh.. I wish you all would have been completely wrong, but you were right on. (This board is amazing...) I called the repairman, and just the part alone is $400, plus the service call and labor. The stove is 6 years old, so we may just replace it. I just need to figure out if I am brave enough to risk a glass top again. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelodyInTx Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My spouse dropped a cabinet on ours and it cost about $200 to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
