Replacing an Electric Cooktop with New Induction Cooktop 

If you have some cookware that is iffy about scratching the surface, you can use a paper towel or wash rag under that pan on the cooktop to keep the surface scratch free while cooking

When we moved into our house a couple of years ago we had to swap out the old appliances. We considered induction, but there were very few free-standing induction ranges with matching fridge, dishwasher and microwave, and the prices for the combos were way out of our budget. Definitely the way to go if the budget allows.

This was exactly the info I was looking for! Thank you!

Hi can you please explain little more about white green neutral ground ? Red to red and black to black is easy the rest little bit confusing

So Drew,where do you plug in the usb game controller on this badboy? Lol

The white wire is the neutral. In most cases is not used, the green goes to the ground. Some models don’t have a white wire.

Thank you so much for posting this. I purchased the same exact cook top and just had granite countertops installed and they did the cutout. Just one question: why can't you just sit the cook top on the lip of the ceramic glass WITHOUT adding the brackets? What is the drawback to not adding the brackets underneath? Not sure what the purpose of the brackets are...just so it won't moveside to side...

Hi Drew, Thanks for posting this. The ground...the video was fast...the ground wire that you got that you tied to the white and green...did you screw the end of that wire on to the box itself?

how do you like the induction stove top from Frigidaire? Any reliability or repair issues?

A little more detailed explanation of the wiring connection would be helpful. I didn’t really grasp the grounding part of the installation. Thanks for sharing

IS the induction cooktop loud? my portable induction cooktop is very noisy. thank you for posting it.

Our cooktop leaks cooking residue, mosty oil, between edge and suporting surface. Seems like a gasket or sealant is missing. Any suggestions?

Didn't you have to upgrade your circuit for the induction? Electric is typically on 20amp breaker and induction needs 8g wire 40amp breaker...

so no cleaning this with a razor blade like a "glass top"? if something boils over?

Where do the Sanwa buttons go though? 🤔

Home Improvement... Why not. Lol the wife approves untill she says i don't like the color.

Dang didn’t even double check the hots with a contactless meter

We have a full electric stove, (cook top & oven). Has anyone any knowledge about the possibility & feasibility of replacing only the cook top? P.S. I won't care if the induction top color is black or avocado. I drag out the electric fry pan before using our stove top, which angers my wife.

we should have tied this into DrewTalk's recent toolbox videos and challenge him to use half the tools in the process of this installation :)

Wouldn’t be allowed to do this in Australia need a qualified licensed electrician because if you DIY and caused say fire damage to home wouldn’t be covered under home insurance

Didn't really show us anything...

I stumbled onto your channel by doing a quick check on replacing my cooktop. As an official "old~guy", I was dumbfounded when I heard you say that you didn't want gas because you have little children. Really? I mean reallY? My god man, do you know how to parent? How to say no and maybe, yes maybe, slap their little hands when told not to touch? What a generation of wimps. I worked in an ACE hardware store that sold all types of space heaters. Oil filled heaters work great BUT WAIT. One father told me that he had a small child so that just wouldn't do. Well hell, my grandparents had a coal stove to heat and grandma cooked everything on a wood stove. I never burned myself because I was told "NO". Touch it once and you learn for a lifetime. I wonder, often aloud, how will this nation turn out when the next Civil War heats up. Careful, it's going to get HOT. Real HOT. Now, back to cooktop replacement...
