Top replacement parts for KitchenAid electric ranges

  • Electronic oven control board. The electronic oven control (EOC) board governs the timing and execution of oven functions in the range. It's usually attached to the control panel and often has a digital display clock mounted on the front of its housing.
  • Oven door lock assembly. The oven door lock assembly is a safety mechanism that prevents accidental burns and oven fires by latching the door shut during self-cleaning. The door unlocks when the oven cools to a safe temperature (usually less than 200 degrees F). It's also used on ovens with the child lock-out feature. The assembly includes the lock and switches that detect whether the door is locked.
  • Oven temperature sensor probe. The oven temperature sensor probe is at the top of the back of the oven and detects the temperature inside the oven. Temperature is measured by the change in resistance in this sensor, which is why the sensor is also referred to as an Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD). A wire harness connects the oven temperature sensor probe to the electronic control board so the sensor can communicate the oven temperature to the control board.
  • Radiant surface element. The radiant surface element is mounted on the bottom of a ceramic glass cooktop and provides heat for that area of the cooktop. It's controlled by a surface element switch (also called a surface burner switch or infinite burner switch). The radiant surface element has a limit switch that shuts off the element to protect the ceramic glass cooktop from overheating.
  • Surface element switch. The surface element switch (also called a surface burner switch or infinite burner switch) is mounted on the control panel of an electric range or cooktop. It's an electrical switch that turns on and off the associated surface element and also controls the how much heat the element produces.

How to care for the glass cooktop on your KitchenAid electric range

  • Use the recommended cookware. Use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Pots and pans made of stainless, copper and aluminum work best on most glass tops.
  • Clean the cooktop after each use. Allow the cooktop to cool completely before cleaning. Use non-abrasive cleaners on the cooktop.
  • Use a non-abrasive razor scraper to carefully remove burnt residue from the cooktop. Hold the scraper at a 30- to 45-degree angle when scraping off residue.
