Just moved into a new rental property and getting used to the place.

Partner realised that the oven display is broken and there's no way (as far as we can tell) to turn off the oven light. Oven works fine with those pop-out dials, but would be nice to be able to turn off the wannabe nightlight. Switching it off at the wall does nothing.

The model no. on the instruction manual is: BOHF160SSPT. Polo electric oven. Struggling to find this exact model online.

Is this something I can fix myself or leave it to the experts?

It's a rental property not your problem and don't even attempt to fix the issue!

Speak to the landlord

Thinking the same. Thought I'd ask anyway!

the light stays on if you switch the power off at the wall?

Are you sure you have the right power switch?

as mentioned already - problems like this are the responsibility of the landlord.

If the oven and hob are separate there may be 2 switches involved. The external one you've tried might be for the hob and there's another for the oven.

Ah yes should clarify. The light goes off if I turn the oven off at the wall, but comes straight back on when switched on at the wall again.
