The KGCS166GSS belongs to KitchenAid’s US cooktop catalogue. 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 sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from November 2001 until February 2006, which is the window the archive records.
KitchenAid appends a two-digit production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KGCS166GSS07, KGCS166GSS10. A plate reading one of those is still a KGCS166GSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KGCS166GSS 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. Being out of production, a KGCS166GSS has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

Most Common Issues on This Model
An induction zone that refuses to recognise a pan, where an induction surface is fitted
A cooking zone that no longer heats while its neighbours work normally
An infinite switch failed closed, so the zone runs at full heat regardless of where the knob is set
Cracked or chipped ceramic glass, which takes the cooktop out of service until the glass is dealt with
