I stove is having issues with the oven not heating. I checked all the elements with a volt meter and they are all good. Appliance repair tech said it is the circuit board and wants to charge me $350 plus labor to fix it.
I am not convinced the problem is the circuit board. The reason is the oven lights are on even when the door is closed. When I try to do a self clean, it keeps asking to close the door even when the door is closed. Thus, this makes me think that the door switch is not working. As the result, the stove thinks the door is oven and therefore will not heat up the oven.
For some reasons, I can not find the door switch any where. Normally on other stoves, there is a black door switches normally located on the top left or right corner of the oven door opening. On this particular stove however, I can not find such switch like that any where.
Please tell me where the door switch or door status indicator is located if you know. Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you for the quick response. I really appreciated.
I still have a couple of questions
1. I can not find out where the door switch is located on the stove. Is it part of the door latch or is it a separate switch located somewhere by itself.
2. How do I diagnose to see if the switch is bad once I've found it.
3. I tried downloading the manual but the site does not permit non members to download. Is there another place you know of.
Thank you very much.

If it fails open the unit up and check the switch with a meter to see if it closes when the door is closed.
