PP932SM1SS General Electric Cooktop - Instructions

The selector knob came as the original that fit execly easy.

I got someone to look at the stove. They told me what I needed. I looked all over the Internet and couldn't find the part. One guy told me just to buy a new stove top because mine was an antique. It still looked good and two burners were still working. I didn't give up. I found the part on partselect bsite and was thrilled. It shipped fast and was exactly the right part. Now my stove works like new.

Followed directions from Rodney of Erath La. Directions were perfect and helped me to decide to under take this job. Job took a little longer spending some time to clean the glass top on both sides and around the counter top where it mounts. The actual repair time was quick and easy thanks to Rodney. Price of the part was reasonable and delivery got here quick. Will deal with parts select again! Carl from Florida

Could not find any videos thru GE or thru YouTube for a drop in cooktop. After trial and error, found out the following:(1) easier to repair when glass is place down on work area, (2) only remove screws on housing that are closest to glass top. These will allow the glass to come off. The remaining screws hold burner brackets in place. (3) burners are held in place by two pins apiece. Further, each pin goes thru a spring which pushes burner flush against glass. By having glass down, it is much easier to position burners and ensure springs stay in place. Finally, when replacing the burner, make sure to put the flanges (thru which pin goes thru) in same places. GE burners have numeric marking at flange positions so this is easy.

Turned off the power at the breaker. Then I lifted the cooktop by pressing up from the bottom, while my wife slid two boards over the recess. I lowered the cooktop onto the boards, removed 12 screws around the perimeter of the case and carefully lifted the glass top and placed it on a towel on the DR table. (remove the control knobs first) removed the wires leading to the infinite control, marking which color when where, removed the two screws holding the infinite control, and replaced the old with the new. Reattached the wires, replaced the cooktop, replaced the screws, held it up while my wife removed the boards and then carefully lowered the cooktop into the recess. Attached the knobs, flipped the breaker back on and turned control to hi. It worked!

Opened the breaker. Took out two screws holding the cook top to the counter. Removed numerous screws to remove the cook top from the bottom pan. Removed two hex head screws holding the switches in place on each side. Did a wire for wire replacement from the old switches to the new switches. Replaced all the hex head and phillips head screws and reassembled the cook top. Breaker close and did a trial run (smoke test). All worked. The wires are short when you are putting them on the new switches.......a little frustrating. But the entire replacement process was easy.

First needed to eyeball the socket underneath to make sure the pin fit the knob we were buying. It was great to have the underside view on the website.

A cleaning spray was allowed to caused a short circuit of the infinite control switch. Here is the sequence of a very easy way to repair it: Turn off the power to the unit. Take the bottom metal cover off. You should be able to find the one that was burnt out (my was the bigger surface burner switch). Take photos of how each colored wire are connected ( I used my cell phone). Review the photos!! You will see that the switch has two clamps holding the metal cover to the plastic casing on the sides. Using a narrow screw driver, pop loose the plastic casing from the metal clamps. This way you don't have to take the unit totally apart. The metal casing should be fine. Clean it well, making sure it is dry. Take the new switch and also take the plastic casing from the metal top cover. Replace the metal pin and the plastic casing only. Make sure you line it up the same way with the little blue box in the same orientation. You may not have enough room for your hand and your view. By feel, you should be able to place it there and pop it in. Check the taken photos and connect the wires following the same diagram. Replace back the metal cover. Turn the power on. Enjoy dinner!!!
