KitchenAid KGCK346B Compact Gas Cooktop Service
The KGCK346B is a narrow 24-inch gas cooktop, so it is often found in apartments, small kitchens and secondary prep areas where a full-width cooktop would not fit. It sits in a countertop cutout and is fed from a gas shutoff in the cabinet below.
On a cooktop this small the burners are close together, so a boil-over reaches more than one igniter at a time. We pull the caps and heads, clean the ports, dry the igniters and test the spark at each burner before looking at the module and valves. The KGCK346BSS is the same cooktop under a longer number. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside; then call us once it is safe.
Moisture or food on the igniter can keep the spark going. We clean and dry it, and if clicking continues, we test the spark module and the switch for that burner.
A yellow, lazy flame often means a blocked burner port or a misseated cap, which we clean. If it persists we check gas flow and air mixing. Soot on pans is a sign it needs attention.
Not always. Burner heads, caps and valves are chosen by model, so we confirm the model and the number on the rating plate before ordering anything.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
