Thread: Kitchenaid Stove: Power Light Reset

Which burner light stays on?

There isn't any reset, its likely the burner assembly would need to be changed.

Jake,
First of all, my apology for posting on the wrong place and thank you for correcting it for me.

The light is on the lower left side of the on/off and temperature control dial. There are four of them. It turns on when a burner turns on, supposedly. However, one of those lights stays on even though the burner is off. This is because there was a short circuit. The short circuit condition was caused by my wife trying to replace the glass surface and she accidentally touched some hot wire, I think. That particular burner itself works perfectly fine except the indicator light stays on. We tried to cycle the power, but that didn't seem to reset the indicator.

Thanks,

Yes, then you'd need to replace the left front burner assembly, that controls the indicator light.

Here's the one for your model:

Jake,
Thanks for the great information. I am in the process of ordering that part. Do you happen to know any diagram or instruction on how to replace the burner assembly? What I need the most is how to get to the burner. Thanks again.

Hi Alan,

I couldn't locate the repair manual for this model, but didn't you say in your first post that your wife replaced the glasstop?

You basically have to take the glasstop off to get to the burners underneath. Make sure your home breaker is off to your range first before taking it off!

The glasstop should just be held in place with brackets/screws around it.

Jake,
Yes, the WIFE did many years ago and she STRONGLY recommends me not to do it again I can't help and I'll give it a shot when the unit comes. Thanks again.

Yea, its not the funniest or easiest job to do on a glasstop range, thats for sure.

Jake,
I finally replaced the LF burner assembly and it was much easier than I thought. However, the red light stays on afterwards. The burner itself works perfectly. The old one had some cracks on the side and it needed to be replaced anyway. Now, any other thoughts on what might also be wrong with the light? Thanks.

Alan

Thats odd, I've replaced many of the burners for this same issue and its always fixed the problem.

Possibly the burner switch has a short in it causing the light to stay on.
