Possible Causes

Residual heat on radiant element, Faulty hot surface sensor (if HS stays on when cool), Control board misreading sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not touch the burner area while HS is displayed.

  • Normal operation: HS indicates the glass surface is still hot. This is normal and will clear once the surface cools.
  • If HS stays on when cool: If the cooktop is completely cool but HS remains, disconnect power at the breaker for 5 minutes to reset the control.
  • Persistent HS: If HS still shows on a cool burner, the hot surface sensor or the radiant element's sensor circuit may be faulty and require replacement, or the control board may be misreading the signal.
