KECV568RSS00 KitchenAid Cooktop - Instructions

very easy repair. 8 screws. total time including removal, repair, reinstall; 10 minutes. thank you.

Removed all terminals and block mounting screws. Repaired one burnt terminal and reassembled. Replacement part was an exact fit and reassembly whnet very well.

The repair is very easy and can take as little as 10 minutes. It can also take more than an hour depending on how the cooktop being replaced was installed.

First the easy way - push the cooktop mechanism (controls, heating elements, support, etc.), up and out of its location from the bottom. This will give you access to the screws holding the cooktop in place, unscrew 10 screws using a Philips head screwdriver. I used a drill motor to speed things up a little. Carefully lift the glass cooktop off of its support by applying the lifting pressure as evenly as you can, the glass may crack if leveraged up from just one side. Place the new cooktop onto the support mechanism, re-install the screws and place the entire unit back into its original location. The replacement unit will have 2 locating pins that go into the heating element control unit, this will ensure that the replacement cooktop is properly located in the support mechanism.

Now for a caveat - if the old cooktop is all-glass and has been sealed in place to a granite top (like mine) it may be next to impossible to remove the cooktop without breaking the glass. You may have to get creative to figure out how to unseal the cooktop in order to push the entire unit up from the bottom. Lifting an all-glass cooktop and its support mechanism by prying on the glass from the top has a very real chance of breaking the cooktop glass and making a mess. It really needs to be pushed up and out from the bottom. I used a heat gun to loosen the sealant, and it worked OK but took forever. Some of the older cooktops have a metal frame around all 4 edges, this can make the process a little easier.

Ordering the part online was easy. It arrived in a timely manner. I found a terrific video online showing how to install the terminal. It was so easy. Thank you for the great instructional video.

Removed the small metal panel covering the main power terminal in back of the electric range. Removed the nuts holding the red, white and black electrical wires from the range using the appropriate socket (there will be two nuts on each bolt end). Removed the two screws holding the main power terminal block with appropriate screw driver. Connect the new main power terminal block to the range using the two screws. Reconnect the red, black and white electrical wires coming from the range using one nut for each wire. IMPORTANT: do no over tighten the nuts because the bolts could snap. Reconnect the pigtail and secure the small metal panel covering the main power panel.

Unplug power cord, remove wires from block. take 2 screws out. replace with new block about 15 mins. Done

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

I went to the source of power on the stove and noticed one of the terminals had come loose from the terminal block and had shorted out against the cover of the terminal junction. After prying the loose terminal off cover I ordered new terminal block and received it the 2nd day. I removed the old terminal block and replaced the part in about 10 minutes..Thank you Parts Select for your easy to find diagrams and quick delivery.

Had to screw off old terminal block & screw on new one
