How to Replace Cooktop including cutting out granite – KOL #71
Today a 15 minute cooktop switch out ending going on for hours when I realized the replacement was larger than the hole in my granite. I had to grind off one side of the granite opening for the new cooktop to fit. Cleanup took longer than the rest of the project!
Previous model was Amana replacement is Whirlpool, both made my same people.

Thank you for making this video and sharing your knowledge. It really helped me understand what needs to be done in my kitchen. Fifteen years ago, I had a cooktop and granite countertop installed. The cooktop has failed and no one makes the same size cooktop anymore.
What is the length of the cooktop power cord?
I would have 1) made a plastic wall room around the cooktop by hanging plastic sheets from ceiling and tape on floor.. 2) would have put blue masking on granite to make the line I want to follow… 3) used grinder / blade with shield on top and cut from top
What size was the new cooktop?
