KECD865 KitchenAid Cooktop - Instructions

My dual zone burner would trip my breaker anytime i tried to turn it on. All the other burners would work fine. I searched online and found a way to test my burner, which was shorted or grounded out. I purchased a new burner from the site...It was as cheap or cheaper than other sites. It showed up a few days quicker than i was expecting.. ...

I used the digital multimeter for measure the voltage in the burner and in the digital part,I saw the electric cables

Dual Burner switch was a replacement and not the same as original - instruction sheet gave excellent replacement instruction with color coded wires and numbers too follow, 6" switch was same as original so no problem with either switch replacement - stove now works like it was new.

Removed glass surface and identified existing wiring (sketch, photo, schematics) before disconnecting and removing it. Installed the new switch and connected the wires using the supplied wiring instructions as well as my sketch and schematics. Appreciate that the new switch came with wire extenders and shrink tubing. Had to use both of th ... Read more em.
Replaced the glass top and installed it back into the counter ,Turned on the circuit breaker and everything worked perfect. Just want to mention that I am extremely satisfied with PartSelect service. It is second time I ordered cooktop part. The delivery is prompt and the parts work as required

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 tang ... Read more s 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.

unscrew 3 screws under the control panel and pull that away from the glass top making sure the wires don't come apart from the connectors. care fully slide the glass forward and replace the burner which was the easy part. DO NOT try to test without making sure that none of the burner are touching the metal surface!!!!!!!! it will trip you ... Read more r breaker. But now we have a range with 4 burner after a year THANKS

I watched the video, purchased the correct heating element and did the repair as illustrated in the video. I simply removed the cook top, removed the ground wire, removed the wiring harness, removed the failed heating element, installed the new heating element and reinstalled the wiring. Piece of cake!

I have placed the new burner on the location and snapped the clips on the slots. Removed the connectors one piece at a time and connected to the new burner. Reversed the previous disassembly and all was done Works like a charm. Thank you all for assisting me in providing the necessary parts and video instructions. It was a lot cheaper than to buy a new range.

Unscrew the three small sheet metal screws from the three spring clips that support the heater assembly on the sheet metal panel; re-attach the spring clips to the new heater assembly.

Re-connect the slip-on wire clips to the new heater assembly in the same position as they were removed from the defective heater assembly. 11.

It was very easy. Disconnect the electricity. Take the two screws out that hold the top in place. Raise the top and with the pliers change all the electrical connections and retaining bars. Install the two new burned tops. Lower the top and re-install the two retaining screws.

Repair video was very helpful. I have removed the screws on both sides of the appliance under the surface plate, in the front. The Owen door has to be open for that.
