The element contains a sensor to detect when the element is hot, these sensors fail. The element will have to be replaced. If there is only one light to indicate hot surface, you will have to determine which element has failed.

SOURCE: The hot surface indicator light remains ON all the time.
Your hot surface indicator light might have a short that causes it to stay on all of the time. If you can, try unplugging it for a little while and plugging it back up. If the light is still on, you have a short. You can still use the stove, but the light staying on will not be any help to you.
SOURCE: Hot surface indicator
The component that controls the hot surface light is part of the element. If there is a light for each element you just replace that element. If there's one for the whole surface or each side you'll have to figure out which element is causing the problem.
SOURCE: cooktop light stays on when cool
no your not doing anything wrong. the unit has a fault. you should call your nearest warrenty agent
SOURCE: GE EVOLUTION Glass top. The hot surface(Glass top)
Individual burners, located directly under the cooktop glass, contain a temp sensor which lights up the hot surface lamp when they sense a hot condition. If the light stays on after all burners are cool, one of the sensors has shorted out. The sensors are an integral part of the burner, so the offending burner must be replaced to solve your constant on hot light.

Hot surface light won't turn off. No burners are on and none are hot. Is there a short or something?
same problem each burner has its own light how do yoy rplace sensor?
Yup, hot surface indicator light will not turn off. It's not the end of the world if it burns out, but I'm wondering if more problems might arise because of it?
I have a single light unit. I have removed all elements and the light still is on. Should it go out when the defective element is removed?
My Hot surface indicator lights will not go off either. The burner still works, so I will just not worry I guess.
