Dryer display and lights work, but the drum light does not come on when the door is opened.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before replacing the light or accessing wiring.

• Replace bulb (if fitted): Locate the drum light cover inside the drum. Remove the cover and replace the bulb with the correct type and wattage specified by Essentials.
• Check door switch: If the bulb is good but the light does not come on, test the door switch for proper operation, as it often controls the light.
• Inspect wiring: Check the wiring from the light to the control board for loose connectors.
• Control board issue: If all components are good, the light driver on the main control PCB may have failed; board replacement is required if the light function is important.
