KitchenAid Range Message "Temp/Mod Knob": solid white indicator lights

What Temp/Mod Knob means

On KitchenAid commercial-style ranges with knob controls and app connectivity, such as the KFGC500JSS and KFGC506JSS, a solid white Temp/Mode knob light shows the selection is accepted. When a temperature or setting is chosen and the mode is valid, the temp and mode indicator lights illuminate white. Owners see these lights come on as they turn the knobs, and they can read it as a warning when it is only confirmation.

Common causes of Temp/Mod Knob

A valid mode and temperature were selected at the knobs
The indicator lights are confirming the setting, as designed
No part has failed when the lights are white and steady

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the mode knob and the temperature knob to the setting you want. 2. Look for the white indicator lights to confirm the selection. 3. Press Start to begin the cycle. 4. If the lights stay off when you turn the knobs, check that the range has power at the breaker once. 5. If they still do not light, call us. On a gas range, leave the house and call the gas utility if you smell gas.

! Why to stop there

Solid white lights are a normal confirmation, so there is nothing to repair
A technician visit would find the control doing exactly what it should
If the lights fail to appear on a valid selection, we can inspect the control and quote in writing before any work

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Temp/Mod KnobTemp/Mod Knob questions

What does a solid white knob light mean?

It means a temperature or setting has been selected and the mode is valid, so the temp and mode indicator lights illuminate white. It confirms your choice and is not an alert.

Do the white lights mean the oven has started?

No. The selection lights show the setting is accepted, while the cycle starts after the Start button is pressed. Press Start once you have set the mode and temperature.

What if the lights do not come on when I turn the knob?

Try the breaker once, then another selection. If the lights still stay off, the control needs checking, and we can look at it and give you a written price first.
