KECC562G is one of the cooktop model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. What KitchenAid published about the KECC562G is that it is a 36″ Ceramic-glass Electric Cooktop with Radiant Elements, and that single line is all the specification there is. KitchenAid’s US product site carried it from March 2000 to February 2013, and nothing was captured for it afterwards.
That puts the KECC562G two decades or more into use, which is where the switches, the element or burner connections and the control knobs start to decide how the machine behaves. Being out of production, a KECC562G has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

Most Common Issues on This Model
A thermal limiter cutting a zone early because the glass beneath it is running hot
A cooking zone that no longer heats while its neighbours work normally
An infinite switch failed closed, so the zone runs at full heat regardless of where the knob is set
Cracked or chipped ceramic glass, which takes the cooktop out of service until the glass is dealt with
