Possible Causes

Door switch stuck closed, Shorted lamp relay on PCB, Misaligned door not releasing switch, Wiring short in lamp circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate the oven from the mains before testing.

  • Check door switch: Locate the Falcon oven door switch and test continuity with the door open and closed. Replace if it remains closed in both positions.
  • Inspect door alignment: Ensure the door fully depresses the switch plunger when closed. Adjust hinges or latch if necessary.
  • Control board: If the switch is good, the lamp relay on the Falcon control PCB may be welded closed, requiring board repair or replacement.
