The NEM5666UC was a 500 Series radiant electric cooktop on a 37 inch glass for a 36 inch opening. Wide radiant cooktops carry a lot of separate elements and switches, and that has an unexpected benefit as they age: faults arrive one zone at a time. A 36 inch radiant cooktop with one dead zone is still a four-zone cooktop, and the repair can be scheduled rather than rushed – which is rarely true of a refrigerator or a dishwasher.
