The KECD805EBL is a US-market KitchenAid cooktop. KitchenAid’s published description of the KECD805EBL is a Ceramic-glass Electric Cooktop with Downdraft Vent System. No other specification for it survives in the sources used here. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in March 2000 and nowhere after that.
The KECD805EBL is a colour or finish variant, printed verbatim on KitchenAid’s archived product page for the KECD805E. An owner whose plate reads KECD805E, or one of its other finishes, is looking at the same machine in a different colour. The other finishes printed on that same page are KECD805EAL, KECD805EWH. 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. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KECD805EBL is established before any figure is put on the job.

Control knobs and their shafts worn, so the setting no longer matches the mark on the panel
