Damaged induction hob glass, repairable?

[GT4P]

So tonight my wife dropped a heavy coffee jar on to the hob on the edge of the hob making a 1 cm chip on the edge of the glass and creating a hairline crack across one ring see picture


Can the chip be filled with silicone to make stable and is the ring now unusable? Or basically does it mean a new hob?

I had exactly the same thing happen to our 7yr old hob.
It all still worked but reading up on it, as it was across one of the heating zones it was deemed very dangerous.

I just replaced it.

Thank you, yep reading up better to junk it, they look as if basically slot out and slot the new one in, I will replace like for like. Bloody annoying though as not even 2 years old!!!

We had the same (managed to drop a pan on it)
fortunately the hairline crack ran across one corner and just missed a ring so it all still worked fine but after a while the crack started to look worse and a little bit of the edge broke away so we decided it was time for a new one
