The KECC501GWH is a KitchenAid cooktop sold in the United States. KitchenAid’s own product material describes it as a 30″ Ceramic-glass Electric Cooktop with Radiant Elements, and that description is the whole of the published specification recovered for the KECC501GWH. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from March 2000 to February 2002 and gone after that.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KECC501GWH3. A plate reading one of those is still a KECC501GWH; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A cooktop of that vintage is two decades or more into service, and the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs are long past as-new. 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
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
Touch controls that respond intermittently or not at all, where a touch panel is fitted
