KitchenAid Cooktop

KitchenAid KFGU706VSS

Model # KFGU706VSS

The KFGU706VSS is a US-market KitchenAid cooktop. No published specification for this model was recovered, and none is invented here to fill the space. KitchenAid’s US product site carried it from February 2013 to August 2015, and nothing was captured for it afterwards.

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 KFGU706VSS00, KFGU706VSS01, KFGU706VSS02. A plate reading one of those is still a KFGU706VSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KFGU706VSS in use today is about a decade old, and the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs account for most of what it gets called out for. The KFGU706VSS is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.

FAQ

KitchenAid KFGU706VSS FAQ

KitchenAid places the plate on the cooktop's liner, beneath the burners, so that is where the KFGU706VSS label will be. Model and serial are printed on the same sticker. Getting the KFGU706VSS number exactly right matters most on an older machine, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

Then the job stops there and you are told. The KFGU706VSS has been out of production for long enough that this is a real possibility on some components, which is why availability for a KFGU706VSS is checked before a diagnosis is charged for rather than after.

Sometimes, but it depends on the fault. With the cooktop switched off at its supply, we confirm whether the faulty circuit on a KFGU706VSS can be safely isolated. Where it cannot, the KFGU706VSS stays out of use until the repair is done rather than being worked around.
