KitchenAid KFEG500E Range Repair
Owners of the KFEG500E, sold as the KFEG500EBS and KFEG500ESS, often bring up the cooktop first. A zone that clicks and will not light, or one that runs far hotter than the knob says, is the typical call. Both are routine for us.
For a clicking zone, we clean the area around the igniter and test the spark, since spilled liquid and debris are the usual culprits. If a zone fails to heat or will not shut down, the element and switch are tested separately. In the oven, hinge wear and a flattened gasket let heat out, and a lock that stays latched after cleaning is traced to its motor and switch. If you ever smell gas near a cooktop, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside. You receive a written price before we start, with a 30-day warranty after.
Turn the knob off, air out the room, and let us clean and test the igniter. Moisture and debris cause most cases. If you smell gas, leave and call the gas utility from outside.
Yes. The KFEG500EBS and KFEG500ESS share one base design, so the ignition parts, switches and oven parts match between them. Only the exterior finish differs, and we check the rating plate before any order.
A stuck infinite switch is the most common reason. We test the switch and the zone together and replace the part that no longer regulates.
