Possible Causes
Stuck or shorted indicator LED circuit on PCB, Faulty power switch contacts, Miswired internal connections after repair
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspection.
- Confirm function: Verify that the heater and warming plate are actually off (cool to the touch) despite the light being on.
- Inspect switch: Test the power switch for proper operation and continuity. Replace if it does not fully open when off.
- Check wiring: Ensure the indicator light is wired correctly and not receiving constant power due to miswiring.
- PCB issue: If wiring and switch are correct, the control PCB may have a stuck transistor or trace feeding the LED; replacement of the board is the typical fix.
