The KECD805EWH is a KitchenAid cooktop sold in the United States. The one specification line recovered for the KECD805EWH describes it as a Ceramic-glass Electric Cooktop with Downdraft Vent System, and this page does not go beyond it. The only dated record of it is a capture of KitchenAid’s US product site from March 2000.
The KECD805EWH is a colour or finish variant, printed verbatim on KitchenAid’s archived product page for the KECD805E. An owner whose plate reads KECD805E, or one of its other finishes, is looking at the same machine in a different colour. The other finishes printed on that same page are KECD805EAL, KECD805EBL. That puts the KECD805EWH two decades or more into use, which is where the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs start to decide how the machine behaves. The KECD805EWH is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.
