What should I do if one of the burners is not heating?

If a burner is not heating, check that it is properly connected and that the control knob is turned to the desired setting. If the burner still does not heat, it may require professional servicing.

How can I lock the controls on the KitchenAid KECC056RBL Cooktop?

To lock the controls, press and hold the control lock button for several seconds until the lock indicator turns on. This prevents accidental operation of the cooktop.

Replacing a burner typically requires professional service. Contact KitchenAid support or a certified technician to ensure proper replacement and safety compliance.

Is it normal for the cooktop surface to get hot even when using only one burner?
