KitchenAid sold the KCGS950ESS as part of its US cooktop range. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from March 2015 through to December 2017, and no later capture carries it.
KitchenAid appends a two-digit production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KCGS950ESS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KCGS950ESS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A machine of that age has had enough cycles for the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs to have moved on from new, and that is where diagnosis usually starts on a KCGS950ESS. The KCGS950ESS is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.
