Possible Causes

Blown drum lamp bulb or LED, Faulty door switch contact for light, Loose lamp holder connection, Failed light driver on control board (for LED types)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before replacing the lamp or accessing the door switch.

  • Replace lamp: Locate the drum lamp cover inside the drum. Remove the cover and replace the bulb or LED module with the correct Rangemaster part.
  • Check door switch: If the new lamp does not work, test the door switch contacts that control the light. Replace the switch if it does not change state when the door is opened/closed.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the wiring from the lamp to the control board for loose connections.
  • Control board (LED models): If an LED module and wiring are good but still no light, the light driver on the main PCB may have failed; replacing the PCB is the usual remedy.
