# Miele cooktop glass is cracked

### The fastest diagnosis is the code

Switch it off at the breaker and leave it off. Then find the model number — availability of the glass is the question that decides whether this is a repair at all, and it is checked before a date is offered.

### Why this one is urgent

On an induction or radiant top the glass is the barrier between everything you spill and the electronics underneath. A crack that reaches the edge lets liquid straight through. It is the only thing on this site we ask people to stop using immediately rather than book around.

### The question that decides everything

Whether the glass is still available for your model. It carries the printed control area and the zone markings and there is no substitute, so on a discontinued top this is checked before a date is offered rather than after.

Thermal stress

A very hot pan on a cold surface, or cold liquid onto a hot zone.

Usually at the edge, where the glass is least supported.

A top clamped too tightly in the cutout

Under load before anybody cooked on it. Worth correcting with the new glass.

Stop using it

What it usually means

A crack running to the edge

A chip at the frame

Crazing around one zone
