I have a glass cooktop that is sealed to the quartz countertop with silicone. From what I have been able to learn the cooktop should not have been sealed to the countertop. My problem is that one of the cooktop burners won’t ignite and a repairman says the cooktop has to be removed to do the repair. I am wondering how I can loosen the silicone adhesive in order to lift out the cooktop from the countertop. Would applying heat with hair dryer loosen the silicone enough? Looking for suggestions.

I am not sure if dental floss would work on such a large area but if you can get floss in the crack and pull it back and forth it cuts silicone like a hack saw. I find unwaxed floss cuts faster but waxed will also work. I have used this method to remove plastic placards from machine centers when equipment was changed some as large as 18" square I am sure your stove is much larger but it may be worth a try I took the last one off in maybe 2 minutes.
