KECD805HWH is one of the cooktop model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. No published specification for this model was recovered, so there is no dimension or capacity quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from November 2001 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 KECD805HWH2. A plate reading one of those is still a KECD805HWH; 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. Being out of production, a KECD805HWH has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

Most Common Issues on This Model
Downdraft vent motor or damper faults, where a downdraft system is fitted
A gas valve that will not hold its low setting, so the flame drops out when turned down
Wiring damage under the cooktop from years of heat cycling
Control knobs and their shafts worn, so the setting no longer matches the mark on the panel
