The oven light stays on after the door is closed

Check whether the light was selected using a normal user control and review the model manual for that setting. Then describe the door behavior: does it close smoothly, spring back slightly or leave a visible gap? Do not repeatedly press the door or change several settings at once, because that can make an intermittent symptom harder to explain.

Thermador’s oven guidance links a light that will not switch off with checking for door obstruction or hinge damage. Look only at accessible areas when the oven is off and cool. A rack or item that prevents ordinary closure should be corrected without force; a distorted hinge, uncertain seal or damaged door needs professional assessment.

Tell the technician whether the light problem occurs with the oven cold, during cooking or only after the door has been opened. Mention any related heat loss, warning or change in closing movement. Do not tape a switch, remove the door or bend a hinge to make the light go out. The light is a symptom to investigate, not a complete diagnosis of the door assembly.

Useful observations before you call

• Record whether the normal light button changes the behavior.
• Photograph any visible gap without holding or forcing the door into position.
• Identify recent door cleaning, rack changes or an impact on the door.
