We cooked with electric stoves for years. It takes time to figure it out, but food comes out just as good with electric as it does with gas or propane. We have a gast stove now.

I have one of these and LOVE IT!!!! And mine has been broken. Depending upon how it was broken, it may be replaced by the manufacturer. If you dropped something on it and it broke - no, that is your problem. If it cracked or broke while in use - contact the manufacturer. It is cheaper to replace than purchase a new stove.

Cooking with electric appliances just takes some getting used to. That is all I knew when we married. Our apartment had a gas stove and it was SO hard for me to cook - Plus......... electricity is so much cleaner. Gas seems to leave a residue...

Hope you get it fixed soon! -

Why not visit a local appliance repair store?

How long have you lived in the house- did you get a home warranty slipped in with the deal and not know it?

The deal with Sears.com and ordering the parts is that you can fix it yourself. That was why I suggested it. You can order even the smallest part like a screw for basically any appliance. You see the same diagrams to order the parts as the repair guys do.
Just a resource that I have come to use several times.

My wife loves it because she doesn't have burners to clean but she hates cooking. For anybody who loves good food and cooking properly gas or propane is the only way to go!!!

While I generally leave the house to my wife as far as furniture, decor, etc go I have drawn a line in the sand here and have told her that if (hopefully when) her stovetop breaks I am replacing it with a nice gas one!!!!

This is the second of these stovetops we have had in a row and on both of them some of the burners stop getting hot enough to boil water after awhile and since they are electric you cannot control the temperature. It takes forever for one to cool down any if you reduce the heat.

I agree!

I have a glasstop stove and have broken one of them. Even though there is gas in the house it was not run to the kitchen so I can't have a gas stove.

Gas doesn't run to our kitchen either but luckily right behind the wall where the gas cooktop would go is our gas hot water heater in the garage so I know that a pipeline is close.

The only downside I see is that the glass cooktop is very shallow and so there are two kitchen drawers underneath it that we use for silverware and utinsels. I think those drawers would have to go with a new gas stovetop dropped in there.

Well I guess we will just go back to cooking with Gas.

I paid more for my last gas stove so I could get one with a simmer feature. Then 18 months later moved. Same brand stove in my rental apartment, but no simmer feature.

It was great and I would pay the extra $50 again. My stove I think was $699- Amana same as Magic Chef/Maytag.

Tis true you may be able to find the other stove in warranty for the cook surface.

Mine has the simmer feature and an extra large burner (Power burner)...LOVE IT...I could never go back to electric and hope I never have to.
