The KGCT055GWH is a US-market KitchenAid cooktop. No published specification for this model was recovered, and none is invented here to fill the space. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from November 2001 to August 2004 and gone after that.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KGCT055GWH05, KGCT055GWH2. A plate reading one of those is still a KGCT055GWH; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. 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. The KGCT055GWH is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.

Most Common Issues on This Model
A thermal limiter cutting a zone early because the glass beneath it is running hot
An induction zone that refuses to recognise a pan, where an induction surface is fitted
A cooking zone that no longer heats while its neighbours work normally
An infinite switch failed closed, so the zone runs at full heat regardless of where the knob is set
