KECD805EAL0 KitchenAid Cooktop - Instructions

just needed clearner for the top of my glass top, the operator was very helpful I received my clearniner in 7 days thank you

Removed unit from counter, removed 14 screws holding glass top to frame, removed ceramic element, swapped over mounting brackets to new element, checked wireing as per instruction sheet (direct replacement) connected wires, re-installed glass top to frame and placed back into counter. ops check good.

Got a new fan switch. Removed the heater dials. Disconnected exhaust tube from blower (it was sealed with aluminum tape). Lifted cooktop straight out of the counter-top, rotated it a little so that it would rest on a pair of 2x10's I set at the extreme corners of the counter-top cutout. After that it was real simple - unscrew the tangs from the sheet metal. Then use a screw driver and gently pop the glass free of the sheet metal housing. Once the glass is off, unscrew the control panel cover and rotate it over. The switch is mounted with a jam nut - remove that and disconnect the cables. Reverse the process with the new switch. Only beef I had was the housing sent by part select was damaged, so I had to swap the electrical innards to get the thing to work. It took 60 minutes and most of the time was spent cleaning the baked on food off the cooktop and countertop. Had to use a razor blade to scrape the crud off. Actual repair without cleaning was 20 minutes.

We lifted the glass top, uninstalled the old burner and installed the new burner in it's place. It worked right away - and is still working. No other tricks the new burner was a perfect fit.

We had been missing it for years. Perhaps it melted, maybe the dog. Anyway, Home Depot didnt have the match. I order the exact knob, received it in a very timely manner. Took it out of the package, and without any tool, placed it it it rightful spot. My wife is happy now. Thanks for helping me.

Removed two screws holding cooktop to oven. Unlike the video, the cooktop was not detachable as the wires were hard-wired to the range, so I had to prop the top up with a 6" block of wood and was working upside down. I replaced the element and everything worked just fine.

Lifted the range top about 2 1/2 inches, removed the ceramic top and replaced the burner. Tested the burner before replacing the top. Everything worked fine.

1. Remove power from unit. 2. Removed 1/4" sheet metal screw from lower blower vent tube. 3. Lifted the unit above the counter and placed two 1x2" boards between the unit and counter. To remove the Stove Top to get access to the Element you must remove 8 each 1/4" sheet metal screws from the bottom side of the Stove Top attaching flange. 3 each screws on the forward and aft side and 1 each on the left and right side. (Note, the 8 each 1/4" attaching screws are at the top of the Stove Top attaching flange.) 4. Remove the Vent Grill and locate the 2 each cross point screws on the center left and right side of the opening. (Note. Due to the limited space, I used a right angle cross point driver.) 5. Remove Stove Top. 6. Tag electrical connections. Remove and replace Element. 7. Turn on power and check Element. Remove power and Reassemble Unit.
