KitchenAid KCES956K Glass Cooktop Repair
Look for the model letters KCES956K when you want a 36-inch electric cooktop with five elements and touch activated controls; it is also sold as the KCES956KBL and KCES956KSS. Because the surface is one sheet of glass, chips matter as much as electronics.
We inspect the glass first, then test every pad on the panel. A dead element gets the relay-and-heating-part test. If the panel is the problem, we dry and reseat before replacing anything. On a wide surface like this, a repair touches more wiring, so we trace each connection and test every element across its power levels afterward. The pads must answer on the first touch before we call the job finished.
You receive a written price in advance and a 30-day workmanship warranty.
We advise against it. A chip can grow under heat and reach the parts below. We inspect it and explain whether the glass needs replacing.
The relay or the element itself has likely failed. We test both and replace the failed one. That is a small repair compared with replacing the whole cooktop.
No. KCES956KBL and KCES956KSS share base model KCES956K, so the same parts apply. The parts are identical between finishes, and we confirm the model on the rating plate before we order anything for your cooktop.
