We see (and repair) this
a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which
we regularly repair nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a
week.
At
our Web site, you can get details of our service, plus we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
This light failure often
occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament
shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first
unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a
failure on the controller.
This can often also
affect the exhaust fan operation, too. The lights and fan can be
inoperable or stuck on too.
Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your
full model number) for more information & help.
We're
happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your
thoughtful rating of our answer.

I have a Thermador MBBS/01 that is only 3.75 years old. If I don't repair it, what should I replace it with? The Thermador MBES ($800) is suppose to replace it; however, a tech told me he thought the MBES specs were different and that I would have to also replace the $400 trip kit. Any advice?
