Danby Oven light not turning off
If your Danby oven light won't turn off, the most likely cause is a defective light switch. The switch sends power to the oven light, and a shorted switch can keep the light on even when the oven door is closed. Unplug the Danby range, stove, or oven before testing the switch for continuity with a multimeter. If it has continuity in the off position, replace the light switch. If pressing the control button does not turn the light off, the touchpad and control panel may not be registering the command. Test the other buttons. If some respond and others do not, replace the touchpad and control panel or the touchpad, depending on your model. A shorted control board can also cause the oven light to stay on. Less commonly, a bent door hinge may prevent the door from closing tightly enough to activate the light switch. An internally shorted door switch can cause the same problem. Enter your Danby model number to find the exact replacement part for your oven and match the correct light switch, touchpad, control board, door hinge, or door switch.

05 - Danby Range/Stove/Oven Door Hinge
If the door isn't closing properly the light switch may not be actuated, keeping the light on. Check to see that the door is closing tight. If the door opens past 90 degrees, the door hinges are likely bent and will need to be replaced.
