KGCS105GSS1 KitchenAid Cooktop - Instructions

Ordered new knobs from PartSelect. I ordered the wrong part. The young lady I spoke to not only quickly arranged for a return and refund but offered to order the correct parts which were received and now the stove looks like new.

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.

Removed what was left of the old burner grate pads and put in the new ones. They are incredibly hard to impossible to find in local stores. Thank goodness for PartSelect.com!!!!

A plummer did the repair.

1. Apply gas pipe joint sealer to treaded nipple on bottom of cooktop; 2. Install regulator on nipple with regulator direction arrow pointing to top of cooktop; 3. Tighten but do not overtighten as it may crack the aluminum body regulator; 4. Make sure the face of the regulator with the green painted surface faces the outside of the cabinet; 5. Get a new gas flex hose to connect to gas pipe (got mine at Lowe's - 2 feet long with all the right fittings for about $15). 6. Follow instructions on gas flex hose - make sure you use gas pipe joint sealer only where indicated; 7. Turn gas shutoff valve back on and test for leaks using soapy water; 8. Turn on each cooktop burner to bleed out air.

repair failed; after much difficulty in accessing the small bolts that hold the 'spark igniters' in place; rear two were more accessible, front two proved impossible. Next step, invest in a new slide-in stove. The repair was a dad guess on my part; although designers often consider repair as a non-option, -sad but true.

After the pad broke off, the stem that holds it in place had to be drilled out. Instructions said to reinstall new pads with ATV to hold them in place. Note original pads were .125" thick while replacements were only .040" causing the grate to set on the burner, not the pads.The fix was to only partialy install the new pads and fill the gap with ATV. I reinstalled the grates after the 24 hour cure period, and so far its holding up. Note the pads are not on the drawing on the internet site. but the service rep was able the recommend the part number that I used.

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 the old rubber protectors/pads with a cake tester, new pads inserted beautifully into grates. Now my pans sit level on the grates again. Yeah!

Repair was super simple . Any one could have done it.

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.

pull out the stove,took the top back panel off, take off wires one at a time on new spark module.. easy
