The KGCR055GBL belongs to KitchenAid’s US cooktop catalogue. No published specification for this model was recovered — no dimension, no capacity, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from November 2001 through to August 2004, 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 KGCR055GBL05. A plate reading one of those is still a KGCR055GBL; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. By now a KGCR055GBL is an old machine, and the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs carry most of the wear. Since the model is out of production, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

Most Common Issues on This Model
A gas valve that will not hold its low setting, so the flame drops out when turned down
Wiring damage under the cooktop from years of heat cycling
Control knobs and their shafts worn, so the setting no longer matches the mark on the panel
A thermal limiter cutting a zone early because the glass beneath it is running hot
