If your Frigidaire oven light won't turn off, the light switch is the most likely cause. A shorted light switch can continue 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 shows continuity while off. If the switch is working, the touchpad and control panel or the touchpad itself may not be registering the light button. Press the other control buttons to see whether some respond and others do not. A faulty oven control board can also keep the light on if it has shorted. Less often, a door that does not close tightly can leave the light switch unpressed. Check the door hinges for damage, especially if the door opens past 90 degrees, and inspect the door switch on models that use one to control the light. These checks can help diagnose an oven light that stays on, an oven light not turning off, or an oven light that turns on by itself. Enter your Frigidaire range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement part for your appliance.
