Thermador Oven light not turning off
If your Thermador oven light won't turn off, the light switch is the most likely cause. A shorted switch can continue sending power to the oven light even when it is in the off position. Test the switch for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it shows continuity when off. If the light stays on when you press the control, the touchpad and control panel may not be registering the command. Test the other buttons. If some respond and others do not, the touchpad and control panel or the touchpad may need replacement. If the switch is off but the light remains on, a shorted oven control board may be supplying power continuously. Also check that the Thermador oven door closes tightly. A bent door hinge can prevent the light switch from being actuated, especially if the door opens past 90 degrees. On some models, a shorted door switch can also keep the light on. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Thermador oven.
