What it means

The ON light indicates at least one surface coil is selected; it is a working-state warning, not a component error code.

This explanation is shared only by models whose manufacturer documents the same code, meaning, and guidance.

If the ON light glows, check each front coil knob and return unused controls to OFF.
Allow the coil and drip area to cool before touching or cleaning them.
If a selected coil does not heat, with all controls off and cool, check that the coil and drip pan are seated as the guide describes.
