Is my product affected?

Whirlpool, KitchenAid and JennAir brand glass cooktops with touch controls

  • Brand Whirlpool Corporation, of Benton Harbor, Mich.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Whirlpool is recalling glass cooktops with touch controls sold under the Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and JennAir brands because the surface elements can turn on by themselves, creating burn and fire hazards. The affected cooktops were manufactured between December 2016 and July 2019 and include specific radiant and downdraft radiant models identified by model numbers beginning with K (KitchenAid), W (Whirlpool), or J (JennAir). Consumers can identify their cooktop by checking the brand name on the surface and the model and serial numbers on the underside.

To address this recall, consumers should immediately contact Whirlpool to arrange for a free replacement cooktop installation. Until the replacement is installed, consumers should turn the unit off at the circuit breaker when not in use and should not leave flammable materials or empty cookware on or near the cooktop.
