Annnd I chipped a piece off the glass cooktop this morning. TGI ****** Friday!

World of information on-line, doubt you are the first one to do that.  Try Google with the unit model number and see where it take you.  4951

I'm pretty sure you can replace the top and not the whole unit. Now I feel better, I broke the lid to my crockpot yesterday and was bummed. Like OP said search with make & model. 4951

You can just replace the glass top.
 
Call or go by Built In Appliance on Norhtpark.  They are just down from Encino car wash.
 
They are in the building with the U Haul rentals.
 
The owner is super nice, and is a huge help.
 
I just got a new built in oven and microwave from him and saved nearly 1K.
 
@Fallon: Thank you!! If I can just get this damn model number, I certainly will!! 4951

Why is it so hard to figure out which is the model number? Seems like it would be obvious, but plugging it into online searches is coming up empty!

Sometimes you can find parts on ebay if not available anymore retail. I just replaced a fan switch on my 1979 glass cook top stove. Works like a champ now. Probably replace it one day but the thing is really nice, six burners with a powerful downdraft. Most today are 5 with no down draft and if it has one they are always weak. Good luck.     4951

My experience with the full glass ones, very expensive to replace it. My brother was going to switch out his burners with glass, it could have been done, that model had both options but the glass costs almost as much as a new stove. He ended up getting a new one. Mine has 3 inserts. Somewhat cheaper but still costly. Each insert is about $200. Sucks.     4951

Call Built in anyway @ctl74.  He may have one in stock or he may can get you one anyway.  
 
I like the looks of the glass topped stoves but no way could I ever have one.  I will stick to coils.  I hate gas.  And I cook with Le Crueset cookware.  It is just too hard on a glass topped stove.  
 
@Fallon: I did stop in and meet him - nice guy for sure! Unfortunately, he doesn';t have it. Next comparable cooktop ranges from $519-599. Sigh. Thank you for the referral! 4951

Sucks. If you decide to get a new one at Lowes or Home Depot I can get 10% off or, if you know someone with a military ID. Save you about $50.      4951
