It's possible that the wiring of the new light unit is causing the issue with the light staying on even when the oven is not in use. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
Double-check the wiring of the new light unit to ensure that it was installed correctly. Make sure that the wires are connected to the correct terminals and that there are no loose connections.
Check the light switch to make sure that it is functioning properly. The switch may be stuck in the "on" position or may be faulty, causing the light to stay on even when the oven is not in use.
If the wiring and switch are both functioning properly, it's possible that there is a problem with the control board or relay that controls the oven light. A professional technician may need to diagnose and repair any faulty components.
Alternatively, you can try resetting the oven by turning off the power to the appliance for a few minutes and then turning it back on again. This can sometimes resolve issues with electronic controls.
If you're unsure of how to perform any of these steps or are uncomfortable working with electrical components, it's recommended to contact a professional technician for assistance.
Does your oven have a switch on the front panel for "oven light" or "light" ? If so, pushing it may turn the light on and off. Also, there may be a pushbutton on the oven's front edge where the door fits. The button comes out when the door is open and turns the light on. If you have one of those, the switch could be broken or defective. If the button is missing or damaged, it could leave the light on all the time.
In order for the element to stay on, the oven switch must be broken. No details are provided, but if your oven is like most, you have an Oven Selector knob for ~bake, broil, clean and another knob for Temperature selection.
Look at your Oven Selector knob closely to make sure it is not slipping on the shaft. It may be as simple as the knob being broken, and even though you are turning it to the Off position, the switch may still be on. If the knob is indeed turning the switch shaft, then it is most likely the switch stuck in the own position. Thanks for using FixYa.
The back panel of the main oven houses the circulating fan. From experience, fat/grease/gunge accumulates and drips down the inside of the plate through the vents. This will then rub on the fan as it turns. There are four self tapping screws, one in each corner of the panel. Remove the screws and the panel will come off. That is the easy bit, getting rid of the grease is harder. Don't forget that the oven side of the panel is a stay clean and shouldn't be cleaned with anything abrasive. I use the Lakeland brush on oven cleaner on ALL the walls of the oven (even the Stay Clean) and it works a treat. It may take some time to disolve the residue and a couple of goes, but it does work.
I suspect that the fan oven thermostat is faulty,probably a contact welded inside the stat.or possibly a faulty function selector switch.
If the fan is not running, then it is still getting a supply from the thermostat. Fit new stat.
