Element on light stays on, element in use light won't come on for the top burners on
One of the burner switches may have a stuck "element on" arm inside. I found mine by unplugging the switches one by one and restoring power inbetween. Once I restored power and the light went out, I knew I had the problem switch unplugged. Popped it open, freed the stuck arm. Reassembled, twisted the switch a few times to ensure smooth operation and reinstalled the switch. Problem solved.
Kenmore 790.9641240, while using stove top power
Tom (Tchange): I also had arc/pop/short of SSB like g_royer. This was preceded over a few days by the Element ON indicator always ON (with all surface select switches OFF). I found the arc marks and burns on the SSB and replaced it. Element ON indicator went OUT, but like you, element no longer heats. I just checked continuity for each of the relays on the Lockout Board. In spite of the error designation on the Wiring Diagram (swapping P3 with P6), I found an OPEN relay for that element. Now to order the Lockout Board, just like g_royer.
Trying to set controls for self cleaning oven,and it keeps returning back to begining,without even trying to lock door.
Check to see if the oven door lock works but holding the lock button on your control (you may see a picture of a small lock next to a button, hold this button for more than 3 seconds until the control says its locking). If the lock fails then this is your problem, if the lock works then the problem is with the control or EOC. Try leaving the power off toy our stove overnight to reset the EOC. If the problem persists then the EOC needs to be replaced. This part can cost more then $300.
Oven not working
