James C Estes Park , CO November 30, 2015 Appliance: KitchenAid Electric Cooktop KECC502GBL05 Burner switch failure Ordered a new switch (4456027) from you. You seemed to have the best price and guaranteed that it was a OEM part -not everybody did. I had repaired Jenn Air cook tops before so I thought this was not a problem. Wrong. Mostly it was my own stupidity. I exchanged the wires from the old switch to the new one at a time but did write down where the original wires went. Flipped the breakers back on. Only one heater got hot. Searched the internet for several days for a wiring diagram. Nothing much. Finally I hit your blog and found Stockman's posts. Today I corrected the wiring. His spreadsheet was just super. I had two orange wires reversed. Fortunately I did not injure the switch. Really appreciate what he did. He has the same cook top as I do except his is white so it was really a good match. All of the other stuff I found really did not help much.
