I have a Frigidaire smooth top oven. Oven door will not close completely and the oven light is on 24/7. Any suggestions?

Good Afternoon Nancy,

I understand that you are unable to close your Frigidaire range door, model# FPGF3081KF. I would check to make sure that there is nothing blocking the door from closing. Make sure that the racks are in fully, and that the hinges on the door are not hindering the door from closing. If everything is fine there, make sure that the door locking mechanism is not engaged. If the locking mechanism is engaged, what you will want to do is press and hold down the oven lockout button for 5-10 seconds, while the door is still open. Give it about 15-30 seconds and the lock should retract. If none of these suggestions help, I would contact either the manufacturer or a local authorized technician for further assistance.

-Best Regards-

UNPLUG RANGE.
It sounds like you have a loose connection, and strongly suggest that you have a professional technician repair this unit.

i have a feb386wech frigidaire wall oven that the left door latch came out and will not latch an stay in place

Hi, i would check the pressure switch and its connection as well. either the switch is malfunctioning or the wires and connectors are corroded. simply replacing the wires or switch will fix this issue. the switch is usually located on the rim of the inside of the oven door. it will make contact with the oven door and as the oven door closes, the pressure switch is depressed inwards, thus, opening the circuit and cutting power to the light.

Please rate and god bless:)

Well at least I seem to have solved it. I kept hitting clear off and tugged on the door and it finally opened. Once opened I noticed there is a metal hook at the top of the opening to the oven. Mine was rotated to the 9 o'clock position. I took a pair of pliers and rotated it until the open part of the hook was in the 12 o'clock position and tugged outward on it just a bit and the "door locked" signal went off. I hit clear off again and the beeping has not resumed. I'm thinking the hook got partially stuck in the wrong position after it automatically locked the door for cleaning.

Waiting for the oven to completely cool off before I close the door again.

Hope this helps someone else out there!

I THINK THAT IF YOU HOLD DOWN START FOR LIKE 3 SECONDS ON THE CONTROL PANEL IT OPENS AND CLOSES

is not actuallly physically closing??? perhaps the lock/ latch has partially engaged prevetning door from closing, and with the door oopen it cannot do anything for safety reasons. can you see a door /light switch thtyou can depress by hand??? if so push and hold it in the light should go out, and at this point continue to hold in switch and try starting a self clean cycle ( dont worry it wont actually start cleaning right away)it then should activet the latch assy to fully engage and suppoedly lock door, still depressing the button then press thecancel button and the latch should return to the normal resting position and you can close the door

sounds like a bad door/light switch.it cant seem to tell if door is open -closed and clicking really fast betweeen the 2. replace the switch

Actually my son fixed it. The button on the face frame when the door is open, isn't just for the interior light. My son held it in and the oven latch slowly moved back to the open position. Thanks anyway
