W5CE3024XW00 Whirlpool Cooktop - Instructions

Video said to remove screws and lift stove top off, remove contacts and ground. My stove top was hinged and required me to lift and pivot stovetop up. The burners were anchored to the stove base not the top. I secured the topso that it would not drop down and proceeded with repair

After many years of use by average families, the cooktop was firmly adhered to the countertop by kitchen contaminates (mostly dried grease) that entrained between the cooktop and the countertop.

Popping it loose with my geezerly muscles was hopeless, so I took 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood to spread psi (at the bottom of the cooktop and at the top of the shelf below it), plus a 2 X 4 stud and more plywood as shims... placing in-between that plywood; a scissor jack from my pickup truck.

Locating this assembly to apply force at one end of the cooktop minimized the stress at the adhesion on the countertop. Results were no problem and no damage, in this case, in breaking the adhesion.

After that, a 1/4" nut driver did the loosening and tightening. A magnetic #2 Phillips screwdriver did the sheet-metal screw starting. A slot screwdriver was used to loosen the electrical connectors at both ends.

The repair was trivial; most of my time was spent in investigation, part acquisition, and setup. Here's hoping the above might cut your losses in that regard.

Ordered new element from PartSelect. It arrived shortly. It did not match the original. Guy at appliance store explained how I could connect the wires on the new one. It still did not fix the problem. A repair man tried for 2.5 hours to fix it with no success. Now I will return the replacement element in the return envelope provided.

Had an electrician to do the job for me.

Turn off 220 voltage, unplug and remove clips. replace it with new part. Check part before replacing the top of range, if it works, the electricity can be turned back on. Repair done.

Two screws to remove glass top. 2 connectors to remove. Removed glass top and put it upside down. Remove 4 wires and 2 Phillips screws. Reverse steps.

the part conections were different from the original.so the first i did was to call parts direct to see if someone will help.NOBODY WAS ABLE TO HELP. so i had to use a lot of common sense to install this my self.

Ordered and received the terminal block. Installed it along with a new 220V power cord and the appropriate insulator . Ensured the terminals were tight with a nut driver. Reinstalled cover. Then, using the control panel, I did a function check on all the heating elements, clock, oven light, to satisfy all operational requirements. All checked good! And, I was relieved that the control panel had not been shorted out as the terminal block was due to a loose connection. Easy fix.

just needed clearner for the top of my glass top, the operator was very helpful I received my clearniner in 7 days thank you

After we got the part in the mail my husband put it on and shortened the wires and put new plugs on the ends of the wires and we had to get a new plug put it on and it was fixed.

unplugged the range, removed the cooktop left & right front screws, unplugged left & right plug & unscrewed ground wire. Parts arrived fast & reassembled. . Happy, Happy, Happy! Happy Wife...Happy Life!

Easy change! Two screws in front and grounding strap screw-lifted out and turned stove top upside down on table. three more screws for burner element and then reinstall with first two screws and grounding strap screw.
