Frigidaire Cooktop Will Not Turn Off

Cool-Down Feature

• The Frigidaire cooktop's elements remain lit for up to one hour after the appliance is shut off and appear to be on although the cooktop was powered off. During the cool-down process the elements are still extremely warm and can cause burns if touched before they have cooled off. The cooktop's indicator light remains on until the elements are cold.

Loose Control Knobs

• A loose control knob on the cooktop burner prevents the cooktop from turning off and can result in an extremely hot element if left on. The cooktop control knob must be pushed in and turned to the "OFF" position on the top of the appliance and clicks when the cooktop's element is shut off.

Electricity Issues

• A cooktop power surge that interrupts a timed cooking time may cause an error that results in the appliance being unresponsive. The cooktop requires manual shutoff by removing its power cord from the nearby electric outlet to force it to shut off. A removed power source for longer than one minute causes the cooktop to power cycle and typically eliminates minor performance issues.

Oven Controls

• A cooktop set to automatic control follows the previously input timer settings to cook and remains on until the set time is finished. Set the cooktop to manual control to restore your ability to control the cooktop's elements and settings. Pressing "Cancel" or "Stop" powers off the cooktop's elements and requires at least one hour to cool.
