Light, Indicator

George M for Model Number mer5550AW

Answer Hello George, You will want to check to make sure that the rocker switch is good. You can do a continuity test to make sure that the switch has continuity when in the on position. If not then replace the switch. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html 

Anthony for Model Number mer6765bas

Answer Hello Anthony. No, you will need a meter to test the unit. These can be used around the home and are a very good investment for repairing things on your own. You need to purchase a meter TJMA-DMT3. 

David for Model Number MERB750BAW

Answer David, The "burner on" indicator light is controlled through the infinite (burner) switches. You'll need to chech each switch for a "closed" circuit from L1 to P terminals on all the switches, with the switch in the "off" position, and one wire disconnected from the switch. Whichever switch has the "closed" circuit, is the switch causing the light to stay on. At the burner, terminals 1A to 2A is the element circuit, and should be "closed} at all times. 1B to 2B is the "hot surface" light, and is "closed" when the burner or cooktop is hot.There should not be a circuit between 1B and 1A unless the test was conducted wrong, or an issue in the burner /sensor 

John C. for Model Number Maytag touch control 800 electric smooth top

Answer Hello John. You will want to test all of the elements in the cooktop to see which one is causing the indicator light 74004153 to stay on. Hope this helps. 

John C. for Model Number Maytag touch control 800 electric smooth top

Answer Hello John. Yes, A "hot surface or the on indicator" light remaining on is usually due to a stuck switch on the element sensor (Terminal 1B to 2B on the sensor should be an "open" circuit, when cool) if it's a closed circuit when cool, the switch is stuck and causing the light to remain on. You will need to raise and remove the glass cooktop, to access the burners and wiring and will need a multi meter TJMA-DMT3 to test the circuit on the sensor. To raise the cooktop, you'll need to remove power to the range, open the oven door and remove the two(2) 1/4 in. hex head screws(one on each end) of the flange, on each corner edge, of the oven opening, and raise the cooktop glass. remove the wires from the two terminals and check for the "open" circuit across the 1B and 2B termianls. Thanks and Good Luck
