The oven light in our bottom oven will not turn off. I've manually pressed the switch at the bottom with the door open but no luck.

The switch for the top oven still works, and when I manually press it it makes a "clicking" sound and shuts off the light. The bad switch at the bottom makes no clicking sound when I push it.

So to me, this sounds like the switch needs replacing. If so, is this something a relatively decent do-it-yourselfer can accomplish? I have not removed the panel yet.

Also, is it safe to remove the light bulb at the bottom so it doesn't burn out, or should I just leave it be until I can repair it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

But for those who have the same problem - ours was that the two small screws holding the "pole" to the switch were loose. Kill the power to the oven, remove the top panel, pull out the switch and make sure these small screws are tight. Tighten them with a small screwdriver (eyeglass repair type) if not. This worked for us.

Thank you for posting. This helped me. My little screws were actually all the way off and laying inside. Thanks again.
