Model 970-506021 kenmore front right stove element won't shut off indicator light stays on in off position

Hello friend, thanks for your post!

I see that the indicator for your cooktop continues to remain on for your Frigidaire range. It sounds like it could be a potential issue with your switches or control panel. I would recommend a reset on your range which you can do by flipping the household circuit breaker off for ten minutes. I hope this is helpful. -Matt

Tempature probe(Temp sensor) on that burner is malfuncting . Replace that probe.

For starters turn the electric off. Is your range gas or electric? When you turn the knobs to off do the lights stay on? What brand and model number do you have?

Pushing the button for the element will turn on the inner element at level 5. Before adjusting the level (so while the level indicator is still blinking) press the little circle on the right side of the controls for that element. The circle should light up. Now press the UP control for that element, and the level indicator should stop blinking. Now the outer and inner elements are both heating up. Adjust temp level to desired setting.

Buy a new stove element. If you open the stove look in the back. It should be black. It might have a crack or be clearly broken. This is a cheap fix. If you want to be sure that it is working at the connection unplug the element and pull it out. Put a volt meter into the prongs. Turn stove on and see if its putting out voltage.

I hade a code 153 also. Changed the element(costly-$200) and had to recalibrate the pan sensors(in the manual). All works fine now.

unplug unit allow to dry ..12 to 24 hours,,or cut breaker to stove,,,try again..if still lite..you ground out,,you have to take a look at light circuit for ground short

You will need to call a professional these are very complicated and not easy to service, there are no fuses either. It will most likely be the element itself that has failed and they are not cheap. It also could be the switch too however it will take a person very familiar with schematics to properly diagnose it. Or you could just replace the element and switch yourself and that would most likely solve it.
