140057821344 Genuine Glass Top for Electrolux Gas Cooktops EHG953BE, Replacement Gas on Glass Cooktop Top Panel

Part 140057821344 is the genuine Electrolux glass top for the EHG953BE gas cooktop. It's the glass panel that forms the cooking surface, with openings for the burners and controls. A cracked or shattered top is a safety issue on a gas appliance, as heat and spills can get into the burner area, so the cooktop shouldn't be used until the glass has been replaced.

Cracked Electrolux EHG953BE glass cooktop

Glass cooktops crack from a heavy pan dropped on the surface, a pot boiled dry, a sharp knock at the edge or thermal shock from cold water hitting hot glass. Sometimes a crack starts small near a burner and spreads with each heat cycle. Once the glass is broken, liquids can reach the burner bases, ignition parts and wiring beneath, and the panel may fail completely. Replacing the top with the factory part restores the correct burner openings and the fit with the trims.

Fitting the glass top

Turn off the gas and the power to the cooktop before removing the trivets, burner caps and knobs. Because the burners and gas components are disturbed, this job should be done by a licensed gas fitter, who will also leak test and check flame performance afterwards. Handle the new glass by its edges, lay it on a padded surface and keep tools off the face.

Questions about this part

Can I keep using the cooktop with a small crack?

It's not recommended. A crack can spread suddenly under heat and lets spills reach the gas and electrical parts underneath. Stop using the cooktop and arrange the replacement glass top before cooking on it again.
