Default electric cooktop wiring


My Whirlpool 30" electric cooktop (model # RCS3014GB0) was uninstalled
in a recent countertop reno. The wiring that led to the control dials
was unplugged, and now i'm not sure what hooks up to what. any
suggestions as to what/where i might find a diagram? i've looked all
over, and can't find any illustrations.

thanks,
bisca

Possible you might have read the model number incorrectly?

Possibly a RCS3014RB ? The top link is an installation manual with
wiring instructions.

Thanks for the reply,

I actually have that manual, but it doesn't specify or illustrate the
actual connections on the underside of the controller panel. There's
about a six wire break out from the outlet that then feeds out in
various colours to underside of the four individual controller knobs.
i can't understand why that doesn't exist in the manual.

What are the colors, and do these wires have connector plugs? These
wires are coming from the control area of the cooktop?
