Possible Causes
Stuck or failed door switch, Shorted light relay on the EOC, Shorted light switch on the control panel, Misaligned door not actuating the switch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off power at the breaker before testing any switches.
- Door switch check: Locate the door switch (usually near the door frame). Press it by hand and observe if the light goes off (with power on briefly). If not, test the switch for continuity and replace it if it is stuck closed.
- Door alignment: Ensure the door fully depresses the switch when closed. Adjust hinges or the latch mechanism if needed.
- Control relay: If the switch is good but the light remains on, the EOC light relay may be stuck closed; replace the EOC (Electronic Oven Control).
