Rocking Or Uneven Glass In Countertop - GE JP989 Series Technical Service Manual

15. Reinstall 7 knobs.
16. Reinstall the blower and reconnect the 5-pin white
blower connector inside the center wiring compart-
ment.
17. Reinstall wiring access cover with 4 screws, verifying
that no wires are pinched under the cover.
18. Reinstall ductwork in blower outlet.
Caution: Install hold-down clamps finger-tight only.
Overtightening will break glass.
19. Reinstall hold-down retaining clamps (if used).
20. If a new glass cooktop was installed, clean it with the
cleaning and conditioning cream (WX10X300). This
will make future cleaning much easier.
21. Turn on all 4 burners for a couple of minutes until all
4 HOT lights stay on by themselves with the infinite
switches in the OFF position. This checks for proper
polarity of all L1 and L2, H1 and H2, and HOT light
wires.

Rocking or Uneven Glass in Countertop

Caution: To avoid glass breakage, do not attempt to
force the glass to meet the cooktop.
1. Inspect all four sides for cooktop glass rocking or
uneven gaps at the countertop surface.
2. If there is rocking or an uneven gap, use a 1/4-in. nut
driver to loosen 18 sheet metal screws on the burner
box bottom panels while the cooktop is in the
countertop (see figure). Loosen each screw approxi-
GEA00297
mately 1 or 2 turns.
3. After all 18 screws are loosened, recheck the
cooktop for flatness. If needed, gently "bump" your
hand downward along the outside edge of the
cooktop's glass surface.
4. If this still does not correct a rocking problem, the
cooktop will have to be pulled from the countertop to
slightly loosen (about 1 turn) the 12 side screws that
attach the glass and metal subplate to the burner
box chassis. Lower the chassis back into position
and recheck for rocking.
5. Tighten all 18 bottom screws.
