KitchenAid Oven light not turning off
If your KitchenAid oven light won't turn off, the light switch is the most likely cause. A shorted light switch can keep sending power to the oven light even when the switch is in the off position. Test the switch for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it has continuity when off. If the oven light stays on when you press the control button, the touchpad and control panel or the touchpad itself may not be registering the command. When some control panel buttons respond and others do not, the defective touchpad or control panel usually needs replacement. If the switch is off but the oven light is still not turning off, a shorted oven control board may be supplying power continuously. Next, check whether the KitchenAid oven door closes tightly. A bent door hinge can prevent the light switch from being activated, 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 KitchenAid range, stove, or oven.
