The KCIG550JSS is KitchenAid’s current-generation induction cooktop, using sensors under the glass to detect cookware size and material before energizing a zone. Because each of the five elements has its own coil and sensor, a “won’t heat” complaint is often isolated to a single zone’s hardware rather than the whole cooktop’s electronics.
