Expandable zones use two concentric elements, and on the KM5656 the outer ring is the one that fails first – it sees fewer hours but higher thermal stress each time it is used. The sign is a large pan heating well in the middle and poorly at the edges. Owners tend to report it as uneven cooking rather than as a problem, which delays the diagnosis unnecessarily.
