The KECD865H is one of the KitchenAid cooktops. No published specification for this model was recovered. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here. KitchenAid’s US product site shows it in February 2013, and no later capture carries it.
Ten years and more into service, a KECD865H is at the age where the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs are the usual suspects. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KECD865H is established before any figure is put on the job.
