Cooktop Light Stays On

Oven/Range/Cooktop Repair
1

Hi All,

Hope you can help me with this issue I have here.

I have looked through the forums, but did not see a post involving the oven model I have; and so I started a new one.

I have a Whirlpool oven and cooktop range
Model Number WERE300 SQ1
Type P30

After cooking breakfast today, I realized that the cooktop light was still on, yet all the burners were in their ‘off’ position.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem and have a suggestion to fix this issue?

Thanks
Viv

I believe that the given model number is incorrect should be 3000 not 300.

Here are your parts

See the attachment for the tech sheet.

As you can see in the tech sheet the Cooktop On light is controlled by a set of contacts (switch) in the infinite control switches.
Sounds like one of the switches is shorted and is holding the light on all the time.
