Symptoms of a bad oven light rocker switch include:

• The oven light failing to illuminate when the door is opened
• The light remaining on even when the door is closed
• An inconsistent or flickering oven light
• The switch itself becoming loose, cracked, or non-responsive

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

• Holds parts securely to prevent rattling, gaps or loose panels
• Replaces worn, stripped or missing screws to restore proper fit
• Appropriate for common interior and exterior appliance mounting points

• Use the correct screwdriver (typically Phillips) and avoid over-tightening to prevent strip or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance manufacturer safety instructions when accessing internal parts
