When your Glenwood 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 shows continuity when off. If the oven light stays on when you press the control, the touchpad and control panel or the touchpad itself may not be registering the command. Check whether other control buttons respond, since buttons that do not work can indicate a defective touchpad or control panel. A shorted control board can also keep the oven light on after the light switch is ruled out. Next, check the door. A bent door hinge may prevent the door from closing tightly enough to activate the light switch, especially if the door opens past 90 degrees. On some Glenwood ovens, a shorted door switch can cause the same problem. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement light switch, touchpad, control panel, control board, door hinge, or door switch for your Glenwood range, stove, or oven.
