KitchenAid Cooktop

KitchenAid KGCP462KSS

Model # KGCP462KSS

KGCP462KSS is one of the cooktop model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. No published specification for this model was recovered, so there is no dimension or capacity quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from November 2001 through to April 2005, and no later capture carries it.

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 KGCP462KSS04, KGCP462KSS05. A plate reading one of those is still a KGCP462KSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. By now a KGCP462KSS is an old machine, and the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs carry most of the wear. Being out of production, a KGCP462KSS has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

FAQ

KitchenAid KGCP462KSS FAQ

On the cooktop's liner, beneath the burners is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KGCP462KSS. The label there gives the model and the serial. Copying the KGCP462KSS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different machines.

On a discontinued machine like the KGCP462KSS 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 KGCP462KSS 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 KGCP462KSS down while it is cool prevents the baked-on residue that later needs scraping, which is what scratches a KGCP462KSS.
