Why is my oven still on when I turn it off?

Oven won’t turn off

If you’re done cooking and your oven won’t turn off, this can seem like a big problem. When your oven doesn’t turn on it can feel quite stressful and needs to be sorted as soon as possible.

Causes:

• Oven control board: the oven control board uses relays to send voltage to the bake and broil circuits. If one of these relay shorts is closed, continuous voltage may be delivered to the heating circuit. If the oven is turned off and still heats, it is likely a broken control board that needs to be replaced.
• Bake and broil element: if one of the heating elements burns out, it can cause a short in the oven. If the heating element has shorted out, the oven will not turn off. You can check to see if there is any damage such as holes or blisters on the element that may indicate a short. If there is, you will need to replace the element. Similarly, the broil element can short out causing the same problem.
