KitchenAid KECC605BSS

Model # KECC605BSS

The KECC605BSS belongs to KitchenAid’s US cooktop catalogue. No published specification for this model was recovered, and none is invented here to fill the space. A single dated capture, July 2015, places it on KitchenAid’s US product site, and nothing after that does.

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 KECC605BSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KECC605BSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A machine of that age has had enough cycles for the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs to have moved on from new, and that is where diagnosis usually starts on a KECC605BSS. The KECC605BSS is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.

FAQ

KitchenAid KECC605BSS FAQ

On the cooktop's liner, beneath the burners is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KECC605BSS. The label there gives the model and the serial. Copying the KECC605BSS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different machines.

On a discontinued machine like the KECC605BSS there is a reasonable case for it: clearing filters, checking seals and confirming the electrical connections are sound is cheap, and it catches the wear items on a KECC605BSS while they are still ordinary parts rather than emergencies.

Keeping spills out of the burner ports and off the switch area, and not leaving a pan boiling dry on the glass. With the cooktop switched off at its supply when cleaning, wiping a KECC605BSS down while it is cool prevents the baked-on residue that later needs scraping, which is what scratches a KECC605BSS.
