Surface hot indicator light on Insignia electric range stays on even when all burners are cool.

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing the cooktop.

• Identify affected element: Determine which burner the indicator corresponds to (often the largest element).
• Access element: Remove the cooktop glass to access the radiant elements. Locate the hot surface sensor (often integrated into the element).
• Test sensor: With the element cool and disconnected, test the sensor contacts for continuity. If it remains closed when cool, the sensor is faulty and the element assembly should be replaced.
• Inspect wiring: Check for shorts between the indicator circuit and line. Repair any damaged wiring.
