Kgcs166gss07 Kitchenaid Cooktop Parts

The Knob Bezel is an OEM Replacement Part designed for Whirlpool cooktops. This part is located behind the burner knob and serves the crucial role of labeling different burner settings. 

Causes of a bad bezel-knob can include regular wear and tear, accidental impacts, or exposure to heat and cleaning chemicals. Over time, the bezel may crack, discolor, or become loose.

Symptoms of a bad bezel-knob include:

• Cracks or breaks in the bezel
• The bezel becoming loose or falling off
• Discoloration or fading
• Difficulty in turning the control knobs due to misalignment

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

This ground screw secures the appliance grounding conductor to the chassis for a reliable electrical ground connection, helping maintain safety and proper operation. It's a direct-fit fastener used where a dedicated ground screw is required. What it does

• Fastens the grounding conductor to the appliance frame to maintain a secure earth/ground connection.
• Helps prevent electrical shock and reduces risk of stray voltage on the chassis.
• Addresses symptoms like intermittent or absent grounding and loose or corroded ground connections.
• Used wherever the original equipment grounding screw has been lost, damaged, or corroded.

• Disconnect power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before starting any work.
• Only attach to designated grounding points on the chassis; ensure the mating surface is clean and free of paint or corrosion.
• Use the correct driver and moderate hand torque—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.
