KGCS166GSS2 KitchenAid Cooktop - Instructions

popped off the old knobs and put on the new ones in less than a minute

Went to a local appliance parts store and could find only black knobs--there were two kinds--one $3 each, the other $8 each. Both kinds looked AWFUL so I went on line and found partselect.com which had suitable knobs at a very reasonable price, ordered them and they were shipped the next day. Who could ask for anything more? The service was terrific.

Since removing the burner valve would disable the cooktop, I ordered the valve first. Unfortunately the valve could not be removed because the screw that hold it in place was frozen to the valve and manifold. I finally had to cut the screw off with a hacksaw. Since the screw is a special screw, substitutions did not work, so I had to order the screw and pay shipping a second time. These screws should be included with the valve. Anyway, the hacksaw did some slight damage to the manifold so that the screw did not seal off properly. I had to use a Dremel tool to smooth the surface and then use fiberglass to coat the surface to seal any scratches or potential leaks. I screwed the screw in after applying the fiberglass resin to the manifold surface while the resin was still pliable. This seemed to seal the manifold off so that there is no leak, but it does make me nervous. Because of having to reorder for the additional part, the range top took almost a week to repair and could not be used during that time all because the screw was not included with the burner valve. Also a screw with a larger head would have allowed a larger wrench to be used and the screw could have been removed easily. The screw head was so small that it rounded off from the wrench making it more difficult to remove.

Went great, part was perfect!

I took the melted knob off, located the part # went online and found this site. I immediately found the correct burner knob, ordered it, and it came very quickly to my home! I just popped it right on the cooktop, and it's as good as new.

Easy as 1 2 3. Removed ruined knob and set new knob on post. That's it. Complete success!

Simiply pulled the old burner knob off and replaced them with the new knobs.

just put them on and pressed down

This was remove and replace of burner valve on a rangetop stove. Removed front pannel of stove. Removed lower panel support. Removed ignition/spark material/peice (slides right off). Unscrewed valve form underneath through access hole, and unscrewed gas connection on top. Removed and eplaced with new valve and reassembled everything in order. Fairly straight forward.

removed old electric cooktop and install gas line and gas cooktop and change from natural gas to LP remove and replace orifice with new ones from kit, my cooktop called for 2 black orifices in the two small burners but did not come in the parts kit that I orded so I used 2 red orifices and it seems to work just fine.

With no inctructions removed the counter top burner tried to figure out how to remove the glass. Next removed the burners (remember to place the burnersin a open area in the exact order you remoned them from the stove)The burners are not the same. Now the glass was acessiable to remove. The switch harness was easy to replace. Removed one switch at a time noting how the harness was routed.Remember the stove is upside down. First remove the rubber dirt sheild and washed each sheild. Note the key way on the gas adjust shaft there is a knotch on the switch that must be located and pressed in to place. Complete the 5 switches noting not to remove the termination of the harnes until the very last step. That connects to the main power. I had to cut a wire tie and replace to complete the process. Removing a burner takes a star bit to unscrew the burner from the stove top.
