KitchenAid sold the KECC568GWH as part of its US cooktop range. No published specification for this model was recovered. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here. KitchenAid’s US product site carried it from May 2001 to October 2003, and nothing was captured for it afterwards.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KECC568GWH2. A plate reading one of those is still a KECC568GWH; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. That puts the KECC568GWH two decades or more into use, which is where the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs start to decide how the machine behaves. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KECC568GWH is established before any figure is put on the job.
