The heat indicator light does not turn off even when burner is cold

Cook top indicator light will stay on as long as the stove is hot I think. Also, the burners don't heat real steady? or evenly or true to their settings even, quite often. they also take a really long time to cool down as well as to adjust temperatures, so it may just be that it is taking an awfully long time for it to cool down in order to adjust.

Most likely the problem is in the heat control switch.Cannot be repaired you will have to replace it. To make sure, swap it with one of the other burners that do not have the problem. If the problem goes away, you know its the switch.

Check to make sure light indicator is completely in place. This is part that lights.

One of the high heat sensors has failed on one of the burners under the glass. Disconnect one sensor at a time to find out which one, then replace that burner assembly.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about why the hot surface indicator light will not go out...

Oven Hot Surface Indicator Light stays on

I can't help you with this if the light will not go off on one burner then replace that switch . but if you turn the power off and the light still is on. the unit is getting power from another unknowen source . mm

Sounds like a short in that particular burner circuit. Usually when the light stays on even after cool down the heat sensor is bad. This is inside the burner. If your getting white smoke the burner switch could also be shorted out.

i would replace the custom control kit. elemnt usually fine that contorol kit is a new circuit board that only controls that one burner

the "hot top" indicator lamp is switched by a contact on the plate cut-out. sometimes this cut-out is available as a separate part but often must fit complete plate. by plate i mean the bit that gets hot!

They may stay on until the burners cool off. To indicate a hot surface.
