9113212990 Kenmore Cooktop - Instructions

Simiple repair. Determined drip pan size (sm, med., lg.) removed 2 screws holding drip pan, placed gasket around new drip pan and installed. Repaired took less than 5 minutes.

first I removed all the srews from the burners that hold the glass cooktop. I then disconected the two wires from the damaged gas valves and replaced them all four with the new ones. After that I put it all togehter and work just fine and celebrated with a good cold beer.

I removed the knobs, burner racks, drip pans (burn bowls) and then the glass cook top to access the gas switches. Selectively, I disconnected each to determine which switch was not working properly and then went online to order the part. While I had the stove apart, I decided to replace the burner bowls.

The drip bowls of my stove had to be replaced. The tough job about this is that the bowls need to be ordered which we did. The order was sent to my house within a couple days. The drip bowls were replaced and they look and work just fine. The gas stove is about 10 yrs old and it needs the parts special ordered now. I used to wash and use a bit of elbow grease but this time it required too much effort. So an easy replacement did the trick.

1. Turn off gas and unplug cooktop
2. Use knife to score underneath glass cooktop
3. Remove burner grills and caps, remove knobs, remove rings
to access 3 screws that hold drip bowls.
4. After removing drip bowls carefully lift up on glass cooktop
(May have top use knife again to help release silicone caulk)
5. Remove 2 screws with nut driver that hold the bracket that has
the burner attached to it, very carefully tilt burner and bracket
to access screws underneath, being careful not to kink gas line
6. Remove 1 screw and loosen the other to rotate bracket enough
to access screw that holds igniter.
7. With new igniter installed replace bracket, turn gas on to check
for leaks, you can also plug in power and check igniter.
8. Turn gas off and unplug power, turn glass cooktop over and
clean old caulking off and recaulk, carefully replace cooktop
and make sure holes are centered over burners and knobs.
9. While caulking is still fresh screw new drip bowls in place
(May have to move top slightly to center bowls).
10. Once everything is back in place caulk around edge and
turn gas and power back on.

I replaced the igniter under the knob.

Shut of electric supply. Remove knobs and open top cover of cook top by removing two screws near each burner and replace switch.

The top is all glass so I took my time. There was about 12 screws and double sided tape. A lock washer holding the igniter on. It also gave me a chance to clean the hard to get to places. Your price was almost half of what a suppier here and getting it would have been 2 weeks compared to your 48 hours to my door. Thanks again

Cut off power to the cook top and confirm that power is actually off. In my case, this involved turning off a cicuit breaker. Remove all burner control knobs by pulling straight up. Lift off all grates, burner caps and burner heads. Remove two phillips head screws from each burner bowl. Pry each burner bowl up and unhook the ignitor wire. I labeled the wires to make sure I got them hooked back up right. Remove the four burner bowls by lifting them off. Make sure you remember where each goes so you can reinstall them in the right places. Pry up the glass cooktop and lift it off. I took the cooktop ouside and gave it a good cleaning. This plus cleaning around the cooktop and cleaning the burner bowls is what took most the time. Lift the defective switch off and disconnect the two wires. Align the flat in the new switch to the off position. Reconnect the wires and install the new switch on the valve stem. Reinstall the cook top. Reinstall the burner bowls making sure to reconnect the ignitor wires. Reinstall the burner heads, burner caps, grates and knobs. Turn the power back on and make sure everything works correctly.

Removed old rusted screws, removed old drip bowls, removed seals from old drip bowls carefully cleaned seals and replaced them on the new drip bowls. I re-installed the new drip bowls with new stainless steel screws. ( be careful not to tighten the screws to tight )
