I have a GE series JP340 electric cooktop. When the burners are turned off, an electrical element beneath the lower left burner glows orange - all the time. Is this a problem that needs addressing?

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

Hi again,

It would seem you posted anew.

For some reason I could not locate related literature for a RCC3024LD01,although there are for LB01, LQ01 and a LT01. Most of the components inthese models could be checked with the use of a continuity tester(multitester VOM/DVM). The idea is to check for continuity of eachcomponent. If we are to assume that the heating element as a likelysuspect, it is a matter of checking if the coil is continuous, that isno break anywhere in between. The test prods of the continuity testerwould be applied to the two (2) terminals of the heating element andthe tester should deflect/display how much is the resistance. Normalreading shouold be pretty low while no deflection/reading indicates anopen coil and therefore would require replacement.

These additional documents may be of help to you:

1. exploded parts diagram;
2. parts list.

Hello
Welcome,
Sounds like you have a bad surface heat controller.
Nothing to do but call a hands on tech to replace a part.
