replacing cooktop?

[Deb Mac]

I am considering replacing the OEM 3 burner cooktop in my TM with this 2-burner unit. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0C...803CZEHU&psc=1

The front of the OEM unit is falling apart (tuck tape holding it on!) and the counter-top where the whole thing slides into is pretty chewed up (PO 's were pretty rough on it!), and when you use the folding cover, it jams up and tries to lift the whole thing out! Tired of wrestling with it. I rarely use it, and when I do, 2 burners is plenty.

Since it looks like I would have to make some repairs to the countertop there anyway if I swap in another of the same type, I thought I might be better off (maybe easier in the long run) to replace the whole section of counter top and fit this new unit in there.

Anyone replace their cook-top in the past and have any suggestions for replacement units besides this one?

Deb -

Sadly, this is a somewhat common problem. If caught early enough, there are a couple of sturdy fixes that aren't too hard to do - one from ShrimpBurrito, and one from me. They are shown in this thread.

But once it has progressed to the condition you describe, the rebuild you suggest probably makes sense.

Let us know how your fix goes. It looks like you will lose the oven as part of it?
