Cooktop Main Top (Black) 318018940

This manufacturer-approved main top (part number 318018940) for Kenmore gas cooktop model 79032473800 covers the components and electrical wiring for the burners and other components. The top panel also provides a level surface on which to install the burner bowls and grates.

Shut off the circuit breaker and gas supply for the cooktop before beginning the repair. Completing the work requires taking the unit out from the counter, and replacing all the burner seals at the same time as the main top is recommended. Consulting the instructions in the installation guide can help with pulling out the cooktop.

Transfer the burner heads, burner skirts, igniter assemblies, burner control knobs and burner box from the existing main top to the new one. If you are not confident in your ability to do this safely and correctly, hiring an experienced technician to do the work is highly recommended.
