How do you open the cooktop to replace the element ? (Surface Element - 1000/1900 watt Part Number: AP4299530 Manufacturer's Number: 5304462704 Made by Frigidaire)
Answer Hi Joe. We cannot identify the model # correctly. Remove power. Since that you mentioned it was a cook top. Then you lift the unit up and out of the counter top protecting the counter top as you go. Then there are surrounding 1/4" screws that hold the top on. Remove the knobs. Then lift up slowly on the top. Be careful as if the top is connected to the burners. Support the top (if needed) and remove the front and back burner mounts. Replace the element by taking notes of the wiring of the element before you remove the element. Or you can use a cell phone to take pictures for reference. Then make sure that you see the same (and use) the numbers on the bottom side of the burner as it centers the burner for the top assy. Reassemble in reverse. Part # 5304462704. Thank You.
