Ceramic cooktops need air beneath them, and the KM5621 is frequently installed above a drawer unit where that airflow was never really provided. The electronics then run warmer than intended and the cooktop starts shutting zones down during long cooking sessions. It is an installation problem rather than an appliance one, and it is worth checking the clearance beneath before any part is replaced.
