The KICU500XSS belongs to KitchenAid’s US cooktop catalogue. 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 was on KitchenAid’s US product site from February 2014 to September 2015 and gone after that.
That puts a KICU500XSS 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. The KICU500XSS is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

Most Common Issues on This Model
A burnt element receptacle, which shows as scorching underneath the cooking zone
A hot-surface indicator that stays lit long after the cooktop has cooled
Downdraft vent motor or damper faults, where a downdraft system is fitted
A gas valve that will not hold its low setting, so the flame drops out when turned down
