My wifes ceramic cooktop on her Wirlpool electric stove just got cracked.
Are they hard or expensive to replace??? Just happened so haven't called
anyone yet. Just curious as to what may be coming...

Well, my guess is, that unless it's a high end stove, you;re going to
find that you might as well either live with it or buy a new stove.
A friend of mine had one in a rental property that he owns ( not a
good idea). A renter put a crack and quarter size chip in it. I
looked up the cost of the top, which is basicly sold as a whole unit
that is the top of the stove. The cost was like $275 and he only paid
like $350 for the whole stove.
You can find the price from many appliance part sources online.

BTW, if it wasn't clear, that was the cost for just the part. So,
even a DIY job wasn't worth it.

I am not surprised. Once you take off the "top" there isn't much left.
