Hotpoint Oven light not turning off
When your Hotpoint 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 has continuity while off. If the oven light stays on when you press the control button, the touchpad and control panel may not be registering the command. A defective touchpad alone can cause the same oven light not turning off problem. Less commonly, a shorted oven control board can keep supplying power to the light. Also check whether the Hotpoint oven door closes tightly. A bent door hinge may prevent the door switch from being activated, while a shorted door switch can also keep the light on. Unplug the range before testing or replacing parts, and use the wiring diagram when needed. Enter your Hotpoint model number to find the exact replacement light switch, touchpad, control panel, control board, door hinge, or door switch for your oven.
