The NGM8656UC was an 800 Series 36 inch gas cooktop with five sealed burners and a heavyweight 58,500 BTU total. Output at that level puts a lot of heat into the grates, and the practical consequence over years of use is that the enamel on the cast iron takes a beating – it chips, and where it chips the iron rusts. Keeping a set of grates presentable on a high-output cooktop is genuinely more work than on a modest one, and it is the most common reason owners of these ask about replacement parts.
