KitchenAid Cooktop

KitchenAid KECS100GSS

Model # KECS100GSS

KECS100GSS is one of the cooktop model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry. It sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from November 2001 until February 2013, which is the window the archive records.

A KECS100GSS 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 KECS100GSS is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

FAQ

KitchenAid KECS100GSS FAQ

The KECS100GSS label sits on the cooktop's liner, beneath the burners, in KitchenAid's own words. It is the adhesive label used across their major appliances and it carries both numbers. A photograph of the KECS100GSS label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

Not usually in labour. What age changes on a KECS100GSS is the chance that a given part has to come from a specialist supplier rather than off the shelf, and that is established at the outset so the price you are given is the price of the actual job.

An earth fault in that zone, most often at the element or its connection. With the cooktop switched off at its supply, each zone on a KECS100GSS is isolated and tested in turn. A KECS100GSS that trips should not be used again until the faulty circuit has been found.
