KGCP487JSS is one of the cooktop model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. No published specification for this model was recovered, and none is invented here to fill the space. It sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from June 2001 until August 2005, which is the window the archive records.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KGCP487JSS0, KGCP487JSS07, KGCP487JSS08. A plate reading one of those is still a KGCP487JSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KGCP487JSS still in a kitchen today has twenty-odd years behind it, and that age shows first in the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs. The KGCP487JSS is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.
