Our Stove Top looked beautiful, the second week we had it the control knobs started getting hard to turn. Third week two of them would not turn at all. Then the fourth week the whole product under the burners collapsed!

Looks nice when new sadly, but like most cooktops - almost impossible to keep the surface nice. Really wish I had ordered another of your products. Different burner sizes, different knobs for sure. The burners do seems to operate properly and install was easy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're glad to hear the burners operate well for you, and you found installation to be easy. We'd like to address the issue you've had with maintaining the cooktop surface. We have tips about how best to clean and maintain the cooktop available starting on page 18 of the manual; that's linked here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--iu1GGLK9--/a5fffec601c93db2e4c08f48395595d120f86441.pdf.
Your feedback regarding the burner sizes, knobs and maintaining the surface will be shared with our product team for future consideration.
Burners are a problem. First, the labels on each burner are in a soft Grey color which does not contrast with a black top. Hard to read. 2nd, when a burner is shut off and the red heat light stays on the red light goes off before the burner cools off. I have burned myself twice in 2 weeks. I now need to put a trivet on top of the burner after each use to remind me not to touch it. A product liability lawsuit waiting to happen.

We'd like to look into the situation with the burners closer. One of our agents will be reaching out over email to collect additional information. Please respond at your earliest opportunity.
This is the second cooktop, same model, I've had in 2 weeks. The hot indicators do not line up with the knobs. This tells me there is a wiring issue, thus a potential fire hazard. I would not recommend this model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are extremely happy that you are loving your cooktop. This cooktop offers a Warming Zone feature which we think you'll enjoy. This feature provides low-heat capability for keeping cooked food warm. We are confident that this cooktop will serve you well for years to come. Happy cooking!
Purchased about 2.5 years ago and don’t cook often. Power boil stopped working. I tried shutting off power but that did not work. Any ideas?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to assist with this issue you're having with power boil. We have troubleshooting tips about what you can try for an issue with one of the surface elements on page 20 of the manual, which is linked here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--iu1GGLK9--/a5fffec601c93db2e4c08f48395595d120f86441.pdf
Among other tips, we recommend using pans that are flat and match the diameter of the surface unit.
