KitchenAid KECC502GWH

Model # KECC502GWH

The KECC502GWH belongs to KitchenAid’s US cooktop catalogue. The one specification line recovered for the KECC502GWH describes it as a 30″ Ceramic-glass Electric Cooktop with Radiant Elements, and this page does not go beyond it. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from January 2000 to August 2003 and gone after that.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KECC502GWH05, KECC502GWH06, KECC502GWH2, KECC502GWH3, KECC502GWH4. A plate reading one of those is still a KECC502GWH; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A cooktop of that vintage is two decades or more into service, and the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs are long past as-new. The KECC502GWH is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.

A cooking zone that no longer heats while its neighbours work normally

04

An infinite switch failed closed, so the zone runs at full heat regardless of where the knob is set

FAQ

KitchenAid KECC502GWH FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its cooktops as on the cooktop's liner, beneath the burners, and that is where the KECC502GWH plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KECC502GWH string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KECC502GWH ended some time ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KECC502GWH is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the cooktop switched off at its supply, the zone's switch and the connection beneath it on a KECC502GWH are tested first, since a burnt receptacle or a failed switch accounts for most single-zone failures. The element itself on a KECC502GWH is proved for continuity at the same time.
