KECC502GBT is one of the cooktop model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. KitchenAid’s published description of the KECC502GBT is a 30″ Ceramic-glass Electric Cooktop with Radiant Elements. No other specification for it survives in the sources used here. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from January 2000 through to August 2004, and no later capture carries it.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KECC502GBT05, KECC502GBT06, KECC502GBT2, KECC502GBT3, KECC502GBT4. A plate reading one of those is still a KECC502GBT; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. By now a KECC502GBT is an old machine, and the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs carry most of the wear. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KECC502GBT is established before any figure is put on the job.

Most Common Issues on This Model
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
A burnt element receptacle, which shows as scorching underneath the cooking zone
