Electric Cooktop can't turn off completely

Recently I had a problem on my Jenn-Air Electric Cooktop. Randomly from time to time, after I turn it off by turning the knob to "off" position, the lights around knob also turned off, but the cooktop still hot for VERY long time. Seems it is still in low "on" position and keep heating. Sometimes I just touch the knob and move it a little bit, it may turn off completely, but sometimes it doesn't.

could someone give me some ideas what could be wrong and how to check/fix it?

Thanks and happy new year to everyone!

No appliance guru...but is it just one "burner"?

Model number will probably be helpful to those in the know.
