Looks like these parts had been redesigned a few times and it is impossible to proceed through the whole chain of different part numbers. I would recommend to order and install the simmer control kit which consists of the simmer controller and two potentiometers. - The simmer control kit Part number: 497234

Thansk for this Gene.
Two questions-
1. If I do this- Do you think my existing molex connectors will match up with this guy?
2. Do you believe I need to replace the potentiometers? If so, it looks like a bare to get them out? Have to take the gas valves off the manifold etc? Is that right?

Yes, it should because this part number comes up as the search result by your model number. 2. Yes, I do. You have nothing to do with the gas valves. Just remove the front panel. Quote:

I am concerned because I have two molex connectors going to my current simmer controller- 1 has 10 lines, the other 4. When I look at the photo on this one- I don't see any place for the 10-lead connector to go... 2banks of 6, and 1 bank of 3???? Is the photo just not accurate? If I order this and it won't go, assume they will refund shipping?

Steve,
Very likely you'll have to rewire it. The only other option for you is to replace the range.
Gene.
P.S. Any refund questions should be addressed to the APP customer service.

Thanks for this Gene.
On replacing the pots. If I just unscrew the bezels for the 4 gas knobs, adn the one griddle knob- will the whole front control panel be able to be removed? I couldn't figure how else it was really attached?

OK. I pulled off the control nobs and bezels. But I am total unable to access the control panel screws. The procedure attached appeared to have been for the complet range/stove combos. Not for rangetops. Is there something different here? Gotta assume there is someway to access these screws without tinsnips.

Steve,
Per the model number you provided it is the range.
Gene.
