GE JS905SK4SS slide-in range Hot Surface light stuck on

[WannaAppliance]

Visiting my parents, and yesterday one of the “hot surface” lights stayed on… and will not turn off.  (It is for the double burner, front-right).  I took the cooktop section off to inspect, and the block connected to the burner in question (which I believe has a high-limit switch and “hot surface” switch) looks fine.  No charring, super clean wiring and connections, etc.  Both burners (inside coil and combo inside/outside coil work fine, and shut down fine).  After reassembly, the light was initially off… but once it went on when testing the burner, it stays on even now that the burner is off and has cooled down.

I believe the part number is WB30T10122, but I cannot get it until a minimum of Tuesday (Amazon rush delivery).  Unfortunately I leave on Monday night, and will not be back until August.

Is there any reason they couldn’t continue to use this as-is?  My assumption is that it is just a stuck switch to the light.

Thank you!

These are tough due to being a safety device. The element will continue to work without any effect. There will be no working reminder the cooktop is hot and will cause burns if touched. With the light on all the time there is a chance they will become complacent and get injured.

Thanks.  My thoughts as well.  The darn light is actually off now.  Was on all night, and decided to shut off now.
