Customer Questions and Answers for Cooktop (Black) by Whirlpool

Hello Anthony, I'm sorry but the manufacturer does not provide us with the dimensions of a part. You can count the one-inch squares behind the part in our sites' picture for a general idea of the size of the part. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Hello Marion, To replace it remove power to the unit. Then set towels surrounding the circumference of the unit ion the counter top. Lift the unit up and set it "kitty-corner" on top of the counter top. Then use a 1/4" nut driver to unscrew the side screws that hold the top down. Remove all knobs and rubber grommets that surround the shaft holes. The burners will stay inside the unit. As you are lifting the top off, carefully note where the electrical connections go. Take a cell phone picture if needed. Use a shop vac to clean all broken glass if needed. On the back of the new top is the "top"of the control panel for the switches. You will need to use a pair of needle nose pliers to depress the circuit board stand off clips on all 4- corners that hold the board "sandwiched" together. You will need these boards to insert on the new top assy. Be extra careful of any electrical connector and take note of them. Use a cell phone to picture the connections if needed. Then Its just a matter of swapping out parts and reassemble in reverse. Thanks!

Fred, the only difference in the cooktops is the color. Cooktop part number 4455552 is an all black cooktop and will work on your model KECC508GBT3. Thanks.

Hello Jim. This is a special order part, and is only ordered from the manufacture when an order is placed.

Wayne, We're sending you the information you requested. It's not a "major" repair, so you should be up and running in no time. Thanks

Hello Larry! The manufacture no longer uses adhesive, the new tops uses supports that come with the top only part number 4455552. The board 3192771 is held in place by supports 3191693, which have been discontinued with no replacements available from the manufacture. Thanks!

Hello Jack! Kitchenaid is currently owned by the Whirlpool brand and all parts listed will say "Made by Whirlpool". For the cooktop in black use part number 4455552. Thanks!
