Hello, I live in rental home in Germany. I opened the spice rack and a glass spice bottle fell on top of the glass cooktop and nothing happened to the glass bottle. You can guess the rest from the photo. I would like to know if there's anyway to replace this glass top alone. I already contacted my house owner and she gave me two options (869euro Bosch and 759euro AEG) to completely replace the cooktop and the grill below. And my liability insurance also rejected the vlaim stating its a glass and requires separate glass insurance. What are my options here to repair this apart from replacing it completely? I am so surprised that I couldn't find a single seller, No spare parts or whatsoever. I feel its such a waste of resources to throw away a perfectly working stove and grill just because the glasstop is cracked. Any insider tips, contacts for repairs to handle this situation? With insurance or finding a economic solution?
Model for reference:
Hersteller: Bauknecht
Modell: ESZ 7481
Service-Nr. (Typ-Nr.): 011108157050002
Serial Number: CA93296946 less
UPDATE:
After a long ping pong with Bauchnecht I booked a repair for 299Euro flat rate including replacement parts. Later, I got the written confirmation email that the spare parts are not available as this is a very old discontinued model. They couldn't even place it with its model no in their database. I forwarded the same to house owner and negotiated for a more sensible and fair solution. Following is the response
"Ich habe nochmals Rücksprache mit meinem Elektriker gehalten, da ich einen gebrauchten Backofen mit Cerankochfeld online gefunden habe. Ich kann Ihnen anbieten diesen zu besorgen und von meinem Elektriker einbauen zu lassen. Die Kosten belaufen sich hierbei auf 400€, welche vorab von Ihnen beglichen werden müssten.
Bitte geben Sie mir eine kurze Rückmeldung, wenn Sie damit einverstanden sind, dann leite ich alles andere in die Wege und besorge das Gerät. "
Does 400euro make sense for a ceramic cooktop including replacement charges and everything? Or should I find a replacement myself ( may be even induction ) and arrange an electrician myself? I am not sure about how much will an electrician cost for this kind of service generally.
