KitchenAid Cooktop

KitchenAid KGCS166G

Model # KGCS166G

The KGCS166G is one of the KitchenAid cooktops. No published specification for this model was recovered — no dimension, no capacity, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in February 2013 and nowhere after that.

That puts a KGCS166G roughly ten to fifteen years into service, the point at which the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs tend to need attention. Since the model is out of production, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

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

02

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

03

Cracked or chipped ceramic glass, which takes the cooktop out of service until the glass is dealt with

04

Touch controls that respond intermittently or not at all, where a touch panel is fitted

FAQ

KitchenAid KGCS166G FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its cooktops as on the cooktop's liner, beneath the burners, and that is where the KGCS166G plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KGCS166G string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KGCS166G 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 KGCS166G is settled before any figure is put on the work.

The cooking surface, yes. Below it, no. With the cooktop switched off at its supply, the liner of a KGCS166G is where the wiring and the switches sit, and it is left to a technician. Wiping the top of a KGCS166G down and keeping spills out of the cooking zones is the useful owner maintenance.
