Estate Oven light not turning off

When your Estate 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 Estate range, stove, or oven light switch for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it shows continuity when switched off. If the switch is working but the oven light stays on, the touchpad and control panel or the touchpad itself may not be registering the button press. A shorted control board can also keep the light on and is a less common cause. Check that the oven door closes tightly, since a bent door hinge may prevent the door switch from being activated. On some Estate models, a shorted door switch can also cause the oven light to remain on. These steps can help resolve an oven light not working correctly when the problem is that the light stays on. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement light switch, touchpad, control panel, control board, door hinge, or door switch for your Estate oven.
