Red light indicating a plate is hot stays continuously on.

thermostat is bad

Some stoves have an override on the oven side... oven pilot light must be lit or it will go to safe mode. if it is an auto light then check the fuse usually located up by the top left side on bk of stove.

Hi Ron - From what you have described if neither the burners nor oven turns on make sure the electrical connecting is 240V. The oven light and clock portions only required 115V. The clock and oven light working may indicate an electrical circuit breaker supplying the range is tripped or a fuse is blown. Confirm household circuit is correct and the range cord is properly wired to the terminal block.

I know what you are talking about. It is the little light on the panel and it comes on to warn you if the element on the top of the cooking stove is hot. There is a little plastic red piece that pushed in the hole. The light you see clamps onto it. You have to pull out the oven and remove the shiny metal back from the oven. Make sure you unplug or turn off your power to the oven. You will need to buy a new red plastic piece. It is called a light lens.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about the problem of the cooktop light staying on.

Oven Hot Surface Indicator Light stays on

heatman101

I unplugged the stove, un plugged all the burners cleaned them, put them back on plugged the stove back in and the light went out, something to do with unplugging it I think. reset it or something.

I have a Frigidair Electrolux Gallery Series stove and the "Hot Surface and Element On.

First it was the Hot Surface light was on for two to three days and now the Element light is on.

The stove is about 4 years old.

How can I fix this problem?

replace oven ignitor .

ok - this is a question regarding a stove - not a fridge - as indicated.

:D

If the ignitors on a gas stove top continuously spark and only stop when the electricity is turned off the problem may be a stuck relay.
Turn off the electricity (unplug) for a long period of time perhaps overnight. Sometimes the relay will automatically reset.

Your hot surface indicator light might have a short that causes it to stay on all of the time. If you can, try unplugging it for a little while and plugging it back up. If the light is still on, you have a short. You can still use the stove, but the light staying on will not be any help to you.
