KitchenAid KCES556H 36-Inch Cooktop Repair
The KCES556H is a 36-inch electric cooktop with five elements and knob controls, also sold as the KCES556HBL and KCES556HSS. A wide surface like this usually fills a long countertop cutout, and the five knobs each have their own switch.
When one element goes cold, we test it position by position: the receptacle, the switch behind the knob and the element itself. If an element stays hot at any setting, the switch is the first suspect, and we cut that circuit until it is replaced. Because the five knobs are mechanical, a worn shaft can also make a good switch seem bad, so we test the switch without the knob attached. After each repair we run every element through its range and confirm the dial positions match the heat.
You get a written price before work and a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Possibly, but the receptacle or the switch behind the knob can also be the cause. We test each in turn so you pay for the part that actually failed.
Switch off the cooktop breaker and call us. A switch that has stuck closed keeps the element energized, and we replace it after testing. That keeps the repair small.
They share base model KCES556H, so the working parts match. We confirm from the rating plate before ordering. We match parts to the plate, so the color of the trim does not change the repair or the time it takes.
