What do flashing lights on the cooktop controls of a Kenmore Elite Electric Range mean?

Flashing lights on the cooktop controls of a Kenmore Elite Electric Range usually indicate that the surface elements are still hot or that the cooktop is in a safety mode. This feature is designed to prevent burns by alerting users to the heat status. If the lights are flashing and no elements are in use, it may indicate a fault or error that requires attention. Always refer to the user manual for specific guidance related to your model.
