I have a KitchenAid Archetec Series KUDS01FLSS2.

The support that keeps the door from crashing down when you open it has busted.

The sites I’ve found so far make you look through 484 parts only to find they don’t have what you need.

I’m also looking for knobs for this unit which is about 20 years old (not that old for a gas cooktop IMHO).

Various appliance parts web sites say parts are no longer available.

We’ve already attempted professional repair. I looked up recommended service outlets on the KitchenAid site and had a tech come out. He looked up the model and said sorry parts are NLA, and left, having the power disconnected internally and us having to start it with matches. (I’ve since temporarily wire-nutted around the vacant switch position.)

So…a hundred bucks was wasted calling in a pro.

I’m hoping however that the switch was not unique to this model and is and might be available as a part for some other model or brand and no one bothered to
create a cross reference. Or maybe replace the valve / switch entirely.

Anyway, here is the switch unit alone:
