# Dacor cooktop glass replacement

### Mostly the panel, and we say so

Cracked or chipped glass on an induction surface is not cosmetic: the glass is part of the insulation and the seal, and a crack lets liquid into the drives beneath. On a frameless surface bonded into a stone worktop the replacement is careful work at both ends — the old panel comes out without damaging the stone, and the new one is bonded and sealed so the edge is as clean as it was. The figure is mostly the part, which surprises people, and the first call we make is whether the part still exists.

What this involves

A crack lets liquid into the electronics — it is not cosmetic

Frameless glass in a stone worktop is careful work at both ends

Mostly the cost of the panel, and we say so

Confirm the panel is available first

There is no point removing a cooktop for a part that is not made. On older surfaces this is the first call we make.

Remove without damaging the worktop

Bond cut rather than levered. The stone is worth more than the appliance in many of these kitchens.

Bond, seal and test every zone

Then a full run across all zones before we leave, because a panel is also a set of connections.

### Can it be used with a crack in it?

Not safely for long. Beyond the risk of the crack spreading under thermal cycling, anything spilled runs straight into the electronics.

### Is the glass available for older cooktops?

Not always, and that is established before anything is removed. There is no sense taking a cooktop out of a worktop for a panel that is no longer made.
