Are these codes specific to my model?

The codes here apply broadly to KitchenAid cooktops. Meanings and diagnostic steps can vary by model and production year, so enter your model number for model-specific information and procedures.

What do I do if my code is not listed?

Some codes are model-specific or only appear in diagnostic mode. Enter your model number to get codes specific to your unit, or contact us. We update the database continuously from manufacturer service documentation.
