Possible Causes
Faulty door switch, Misaligned door latch, Bent door hinges, Broken wiring to door switch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Disconnect power before adjusting hinges or accessing internal switches.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and evenly. Look for obstructions on the gasket or racks preventing full closure.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door and check for sagging or bent hinges. Tighten hinge screws at the frame and door if loose.
- Test door switch: Locate the door switch plunger (usually near the top of the frame). Press it manually and listen for a click. If no click or if the oven light does not respond, the switch may be faulty.
- Access and test switch: Remove the front trim or side panel to access the oven door switch. Test for continuity with a multimeter while pressing the plunger. Replace if it does not change state.
- Check latch alignment: If the oven uses a latch-style switch, ensure the latch engages the switch fully when the door is closed. Adjust the latch bracket if needed.
