Maytag electric cooktop range "on indicator" light will not go off

One of the high heat sensors has failed on one of the burners under the glass. Disconnect one sensor at a time to find out which one, then replace that burner assembly.

I can't help you with this if the light will not go off on one burner then replace that switch . but if you turn the power off and the light still is on. the unit is getting power from another unknowen source . mm

Hello. Maytag has a special cleaning cream just for their glass cooktop. You can get it whereever the stoves are sold or at this link http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/maytag-cooktop-cleaning-creme-smooth-top-ranges-reviews

you have a bad switch, you need to unplug the wire going to the conector marked P on one switch at a time til you find witch switch is bad. if you have turned off the breaker to it and the light is still on then the power is not off to it there is not a batery in it, careful that glass breaks easy when out of it's can

hello sir/mam
the cooktop will be having push locks so that it will be locked as we press it so to remove this using a screwdriver give a light pressuer to the bottom of the top.

If indicator lights are all that wont work there is a "P" terminal on the surface switches (unless they are controled through a board). The P is for Pilot And 1 side usually the "P" terminal of the switch is allowing the light to recieve the power signal that the element is recieving from the switch. The other side of the pilot light(s) will all be wired together at a "common" pont.
My guess is that if you have individual piolet lights this common point is not tied in to the circut now. 1 wire off or loose and none of the lights work. However it should be simple to trace back to this point and effect repair to it.

Temporary solution to turn off the indicator lamp - put a wet rag with an ice pack on top on the middle section of the cooktop.
The thermal sensor will trip off the lamp.

no your not doing anything wrong. the unit has a fault. you should call your nearest warrenty agent

They may stay on until the burners cool off. To indicate a hot surface.
