KitchenAid Induction Cooktop Code FC RR: the right rear zone does not respond

What FC RR means

On KitchenAid induction cooktops, such as the KICU569XSS, FC RR points to the right rear hotplate (cooking surface, burner or element) or the wiring that feeds it. That zone will not heat or shuts off, while others may carry on working. The code stays on the display. It is a position-specific code, so it tells us which zone to start with, and the display keeps the code until the problem is dealt with.

Common causes of FC RR

The right rear induction coil has failed
Wiring to that coil is damaged
A connector at the module has loosened
The module output for the zone has failed

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Switch off all zones and let the glass cool. 2. Move your pan to another zone to see if it heats there. 3. Cycle the breaker off and on after a minute. 4. Call for service if FC RR shows up again.

! Why to stop there

Coil and module work is done under the glass with live power present.
A meter check separates the coil from the module.
A written estimate comes before work, and a 30-day warranty covers it.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

FC RRFC RR questions

How do I know if FC RR is the zone or the pan?

Try the same pan on another zone. If it heats there and the right rear refuses, the problem is the zone, its wiring or its electronics, not the cookware.

Do I have to replace the whole cooktop?

Rarely. Usually a coil, connector or module is replaced. We compare repair and replacement costs in writing so you can choose with the facts. Tell us the result, because a zone that fails with every pan shows the problem is in the cooktop.

Will other zones fail too?

Not necessarily, but they share the same module and supply. If one zone fails, we inspect the others, and you should tell us if they behave oddly.
