Bosch Oven light not turning off

When your Bosch oven light won't turn off, the light switch is the most likely cause. A shorted light switch can continue sending power to the bulb 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 Bosch oven light stays on when you press the control button, the touchpad and control panel may not be registering the command. Try the other buttons; if some respond and others do not, the touchpad and control panel or touchpad may be defective. A shorted control board can also keep the oven light on, especially when the light switch is working correctly. Check that the oven door closes tightly, since a bent door hinge can prevent the light switch from being actuated. On some Bosch ovens, a shorted door switch causes the same symptom. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Bosch oven model number to find the exact replacement light switch, touchpad, control panel, control board, door hinge, or door switch for your appliance.
