KitchenAid KGCK366 Gas Cooktop
36-inch gas cooktop with a center-rear burner; owners usually report igniters that keep clicking or a burner that stays cold.
Model overview
The KitchenAid KGCK366 is a 36-inch gas cooktop with individual control knobs and a layout that adds a center-rear burner. Its high-output burner is rated at 17,000 Btu/h, another reaches 12,500 Btu/h, and a 6,000 Btu/h burner is included, while the center-rear burner is rated at 9,100 Btu/h. Installation needs 120 V, 60 Hz on a 15-amp fused circuit, and the knobs should never be soaked. Owners in the metro areas we serve tend to call about igniters that keep clicking or a burner that will not heat. The booking form should list the symptom, the complete model number from the rating label and any code on the cooktop.

What sets the KGCK366 apart
The center-rear burner and its own knob are the difference in this 36-inch layout. Rated at 9,100 Btu/h, it sits behind the front burners and gives a low-output position without taking a front spot. Each burner has its own knob, so changing one pan's setting leaves the others alone.
Service notes for the KGCK366
Igniters that keep clicking on a knob-controlled cooktop usually start at the electrode and the cap seating, because a cap that is off its seat stops the spark from reaching the gas. A burner that will not heat is often the same fault, so the technician checks the valve behind the knob before the supply line. An error code on one burner points to that burner's ignition path rather than the whole cooktop. The knobs should not be soaked, so owners can wipe spills with a damp cloth, let the cooktop dry and note which burner fails.
The model number is printed on the rating label, usually on the underside of the unit; many owners also have it on the warranty card or installation papers; match it letter for letter before booking, because a single letter can change parts.
