KitchenAid Cooktop

KitchenAid KGCU462VSS

Model # KGCU462VSS

The KGCU462VSS is a KitchenAid cooktop. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry. It sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from September 2013 until September 2015, 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 KGCU462VSS00, KGCU462VSS01. A plate reading one of those is still a KGCU462VSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. Ten years and more into service, a KGCU462VSS is at the age where the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs are the usual suspects. The KGCU462VSS is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

FAQ

KitchenAid KGCU462VSS FAQ

The KGCU462VSS label sits on the cooktop's liner, beneath the burners, in KitchenAid's own words. It is the adhesive label used across their major appliances and it carries both numbers. A photograph of the KGCU462VSS label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

Not usually in labour. What age changes on a KGCU462VSS is the chance that a given part has to come from a specialist supplier rather than off the shelf, and that is established at the outset so the price you are given is the price of the actual job.

No. A cracked glass top on a KGCU462VSS is a safety matter rather than a cosmetic one, because the surface is what separates the elements from anything spilled. With the cooktop switched off at its supply, the KGCU462VSS should stay out of use until the glass has been dealt with.
