Brown Oven light not turning off
If your Brown 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 when off. If pressing the light button does nothing, the touchpad and control panel or the separate touchpad may not be registering the command. Test the other control buttons. If some respond and others do not, replace the faulty control panel or touchpad. A shorted control board can also keep the oven light on, especially when the light switch tests good. Next, check whether the oven door closes tightly. A bent door hinge can prevent the door switch from being actuated, while a shorted door switch can leave the light on. This can cause an oven light stays on or oven light not turning off problem. Before ordering, enter your Brown range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement light switch, touchpad, control panel, control board, door hinge, or door switch for your appliance.
