Parts for Kitchenaid KESH307HBS0: 01 - Cooktop, Literature Parts

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
• Visible damage or discoloration on the element

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Large Surface Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. As a key heat source, it withstands significant thermal stresses each use for cooking tasks. This surface element measures approximately 10” in diameter.

Over time, microfractures may accumulate in the ceramic glass from repetitive heating/cooling cycles. Mineral deposits also build up on the surface, reducing heat transfer effectiveness.

Symptoms involve:

• Inconsistent or diminished heat from the designated zone 
• Noticeable cracks, clouding or chips in the glass material
• Safety hazards if integrity is lost, exposing electrical/gas

The element is compatible also for select KitchenAid and Maytag appliances.

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
