Slava for Model Number 66595809000

On my Kenmore range one of the burner "hot" indicators is always "on" even so the surface is absolutely cold. If I bang on the element surface the "hot" indicator goes "off". But the moment it heats up again it is stuck in "on" again. Apparently thermocouple or the "limiter" which controls the hot surface indicator in this burner is malfunctioning. My question is: since the burner itself works and heats just fine, can I replace just the "limiter"? If yes, what is the part #? Or the limiter is integrated into the burner element and the whole burner kit must be replaced? Thanks.

Hello Slava. No, you have to replace the whole element to replace the temp sensor.

Hello Steven, This light can come on due to either a bad limiter which is not available without the element assembly or a failed infinite switch.
