Oven light stays on constantly - Maytag CWG3100A Gas Single Oven

What make and model? I simply need more information.
Pilot lights have a constant flow of small amount of gas. the ones that stay lit that is, and the ones that don't stay lit release gas as they ignite, I can thin k of a reason you would get partial gas to ignite and then it stops unless the gas for the oven is very low or off. You could also have a gas leak. Good luck

I appreciate your inquiry, Sidney!
I see that you are having a difficulty with the preheat indicator on your Frigidaire range constantly staying on. This could be a possible issue with that switch or indicator light. I would recommend seeking help from a certified technician for exchanging or replacing any electrical components. This will prevent any personal injury or future issues with your range. I hope this is helpful information. -Matt

What do you mean that it wont stay on? Does it turn off and on during cooking? Does it just go off and wont come back on? The oven thermostat regulates the heat in the oven and the oven element and the oven indicator light will turn off and on during cooking. If it stayed on constantly on full oven element power everything would burn.

Hi,

I don't have a solution, but I was wondering if it constantly beeps until you press the start button? I am having the same problem with my oven preheating. Until we can figure out how to stop this we unplug it and shut the gas off when not in use.

either the seal,or spring device.
some doors come off,if you open partially and lift it,it might come off,and you can adjust it by repositioning it slightly?

It is most likely the switch will have to be replaced due to a short. Second possibility but more unlikely is a relay that is stuck open.

the internal pressure switch is stuck in position. its due to surface gunk build up. carmelization of oven debris.

This is done to regulate the temperature. Higher heat settings will let the element stay on longer, while lower settings will turn it off sooner. Even on high, the elements may turn off periodically because there is a switch called a temperature limiter. Its job is to keep the element from overheating.

Most of these I have seen have to have the hinges and recievers replaced to get the doors to close properly and keep the light off.
