Thermostat jumper is not in place is it? If you have a thermostat remove it to take it out of the equation.

Physically disconnect your thermostat. Need to make sure that is not the cause of the problem.

T-stat with worn/burned wires will cause faulty starts. Take stat wires off.. Nothing touching the 2 connections in the back. If it still lights?? I believe in....

I believe in...

WHAT! What do you believe in? Don't leave me in suspense like that. My heart ain't what it use to be.

We have a washing machine that was starting up on its own. Even though the machine was out of warranty they were concerned about it and sent out a tech. While he was thinking we had lost our minds with the story the machine started up. His words "Oh @$?@ this isn't good !" Everything electric but the main motor was replaced. Would have been far cheaper to have just delivered a new machine.
