The KECD805E belongs to KitchenAid’s US cooktop catalogue. The source describes the KECD805E as a Ceramic-glass Electric Cooktop with Downdraft Vent System. Nothing further about its specification was recovered, so nothing further is stated here. KitchenAid’s US product site shows it in March 2000, and no later capture carries it.
KitchenAid’s archived product page for the KECD805E also prints KECD805EAL, KECD805EBL, KECD805EWH, which are the same machine in different colours and finishes. A plate reading one of those belongs on this page too. A KECD805E still in a kitchen today has twenty-odd years behind it, and that age shows first in the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs. The KECD805E is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.
