The oven light doesn’t go out, how to fix it?
You appreciate that the light comes on inside your oven so that you can monitor the cooking without opening the door and losing heat. But lately, the lamp is on all the time ... It’s not rocket science to figure out that something is wrong! Let’s take a look at the possible causes of this light malfunction.
WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
WARNING
Before carrying out any work on your appliance, be absolutely sure that you first completely disconnect it from the mains electricity supply.
Risk of electric shock.
Wear protective gloves if you need to disassemble the appliance.
Risk of cuts and abrasions.
Door safety mechanism fault
For some ovens, the door safety mechanism is equipped with a door contact that is activated when the door is closed. If the door ignition is faulty, your oven may remain on all the time because it no longer detects the door opening and closing.
Door hinges are worn
Limilar to the above fault, the door hinges of your oven allow the door to align correctly. When these elements are defective, it is possible that the door closing contact will no longer perform its purpose. As a result, the light on your cooking appliance stays on.
The electronic board malfunctions
More rarely, this bulb malfunction can be related to a failure of the power board. This is because it can sometimes supply your lighting permanently. Careful! It’s common for an oven to stay on while it’s cooking! Depending on your model, this may not be a malfunction. Before considering a repair, consult the manual to check if this phenomenon is normal for your device. And this is especially before replacing the electronic board, which is an often expensive working part.
