KitchenAid 38 in. KGCS166GSS Gas Cooktop - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Cooktop knobs will not turn. i tried lubricating the shafts with WD 40. no luck. any other suggestions?
WD40 is a Water Displacement (formula 40) spray. You do not need to displace water. Also when it fully dries, it leaves a waxy film to further shed WATER. People use it for everything, it smalls nice, but it was made for one thing only.
Electric or gas cooktop?
Gas have a safety feature, push in and turn, some have an electric lock.
Just sticky, or corroded, use Plus Gas, or some type of penetrating oil.
Did they work before or is this cook top new to you?
Did you read the instructions?

My Defy Slimline hob shows error 42 when i switch on 2 plates, what might be the cause of this?
Look for a defective capacitor on the circuit board, like on the picture. The top is somewhat curved or even open.
Replace the cap and the ones that are the same. most likely they are from the same batch and will be defect in a few weeks or so. Look at the green capacitors. the top left was blown in my hub.
I could not upload a picture, because I can't switch of my add blocker

I have noticed there's quite a mark up on gas cooktop stove parts, specifically Jen air model number CVGX2423B. I need to replace the valves.
Sorry I am unable to comment on your specific problem, I just wanted to remark that it is the usual practice with bought-in parts whereas those parts manufactured in-house tend to be more reasonably priced.
Often it seems the price of bought-in parts double as soon as they arrive and then repackaging cost is added and then a notional amount of extra profit added for good measure...
Sometimes, when a component bears the name or the logo of the original manufacturer, it is possible to source replacements from that company resulting in a considerable saving. Several times I have managed to do this and once the saving was an incredible amount. The appliance manufacturer wanted £65 plus carriage and tax but the component manufacturer sold me the part for a total cost of £16.60.

Help omega cooktop only displayinG H or L help
Child Lock:
After switching on the control, the child lock function can be activated. To activate the child lock,
simultaneously operate the right and the left of the slider button and then operate the right of the
slider button again. "L" meaning LOCKED will appear in all heater displays and the control can not
be changed. (If a cooking zone is in the hot condition, "L" and "H" will be displayed in alternation.)
The hob will remain in a locked condition until it gets unlocked, even if the control has been
switched off and on.
To deactivate the child lock, first switch on the hob. Simultaneously operate the right and the left of
the slider button and then operate left of slider button again. "L" will disappear in the display and
the hob will be switched off.

My defy s600 is overheating on 3 of 4 plates.
Wow I am curious, I have a DEFY 600 STS Thermofan and the plates are also raditcally overheating. The dials go from 1 to 8 but even on setting 1 water boils and settings above 1 is a totally mess.
I find on the internet information about thermostats, but isn't replacing a thermostat only for an overheating oven?
@N, how did you fix this problem?
