Oven interior light stays on even when the door is closed.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed door switch stuck in "open" position, Misaligned door not depressing switch, Shorted light relay on EOC

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing the door switch or control board.

Steps:

Door alignment: Check that the door closes squarely and fully. Adjust hinges if the door is sagging.
Test door switch: Locate the door switch on the front frame. Remove it and test continuity while pressing and releasing the plunger. Replace if it does not change state correctly.
Control relay: If the switch is good but the light remains on, the light relay on the EOC may be stuck closed. Replace the EOC.
