Dacor Oven light not turning off
When your Dacor oven light won't turn off, the light switch is the most likely cause. A shorted range/stove/oven 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 shows continuity while off. If the switch checks out, the touchpad and control panel may not be registering the light button, especially if some control buttons respond and others do not. A defective touchpad alone can cause the same problem. The Dacor oven control board is another possible cause because it often supplies power to the oven light and may have a shorted relay. Less commonly, a bent door hinge may prevent the door from closing tightly enough to activate the light switch. On some models, a shorted door switch can also keep the oven light on. Before ordering, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Dacor range, stove, or oven, including the correct light switch, touchpad, control panel, control board, door hinge, or door switch.
