Hot surface light stay on - Frigidaire Kitchen Ranges

There is a switch in the burner assembly that senses the burner is hot. It could be the sensor switch is bad. It also could be the surface switch itself that has a welded contact that is causing the hot surface light to stay on. i would look at the thermal switch on the burner itself first.

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

signs of a faulty hotplate sensor especially if the surface is cold

Individual burners, located directly under the cooktop glass, contain a temp sensor which lights up the hot surface lamp when they sense a hot condition. If the light stays on after all burners are cool, one of the sensors has shorted out. The sensors are an integral part of the burner, so the offending burner must be replaced to solve your constant on hot light.

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.

Each element contains a sensor to detect when the element is hot, this sensor has failed. The element will have to be replaced. If there is only one light to indicate hot surface, you will have to determine which element has failed.

If it's the light that indicated the element is on, replace the switch. If it's the light that indicated the element is hot, replace the element.
