The KICU568SBL is one of the KitchenAid cooktops. 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. The only dated record of it is a capture of KitchenAid’s US product site from June 2010.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KICU568SBL0, KICU568SBL1. A plate reading one of those is still a KICU568SBL; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KICU568SBL 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 KICU568SBL is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.
