Parts for Kitchenaid KESH307GAL1: 01 - Cooktop Parts

Color: Black.

This cooktop gasket seals the gap between the cooktop and countertop to help prevent spills and moisture from entering the cabinet while restoring a secure fit and finished appearance. Ideal when the original edge seal is worn or missing. What it does:

• Seals the cooktop edge to keep liquids and crumbs from getting under the appliance — symptoms: visible gaps, pooling liquids, or debris under the cooktop.
• Cushions and stabilizes the cooktop to reduce vibration and rattling during use — symptoms: shifting or noisy cooktop.
• Protects countertop and cabinetry from heat, spills, and food buildup that can cause staining or damage — symptoms: discolored or damaged counter edges.
• Restores fit and finish for a clean, professional appearance — symptoms: loose or uneven cooktop edges.

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) and allow the cooktop to cool before starting work.
• Remove the old gasket and thoroughly clean and dry the mating surfaces before installing the new gasket.
• Press the new gasket into place along the cooktop edge; trim excess material as needed without overstretching.

The Small Surface Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric ranges and cooktops. This heating element is responsible for providing heat to a specific area on the cooktop, typically used for smaller pots and pans. It ensures even and efficient heating, allowing for precise cooking control.

Causes of a bad surface element can include regular wear and tear, overheating, or electrical malfunctions. A malfunctioning surface element can result in uneven heating, longer cooking times, or no heat at all.

Symptoms of a bad small surface element include:

• The element not heating up
• Uneven or inconsistent heating
• Sparks or electrical arcing when the element is turned on

Small, ceran element rod.

Color: Black.

This fixed thermostat switches near 60C to control a heat-managed circuit—often the oven's cooling/blower fan. Replacing a failed unit restores proper fan cycling and helps protect the control area from excessive heat during and after cooking.

• Monitors temperature in the oven cabinet/control area and switches power based on heat level
• Cycles the cooling/blower fan on and off to manage cabinet temperature
• Helps safeguard electronic controls from heat buildup
• Failure may cause symptoms such as a fan that won't run, a fan that runs continuously, or an unusually hot control area

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the thermostat per your model; it is typically mounted to a plenum or bracket near the oven cavity
• Move wires one at a time and mount the new thermostat flat against the surface for accurate sensing
• Restore power and verify the fan cycles during operation
