How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before changing bulbs.

  • 1. Replace bulb: Install a new bulb of the correct wattage and type recommended by Sommer (often LED or low‑wattage incandescent).
  • 2. Check socket: Inspect the light socket for corrosion or heat damage. Clean contacts or replace socket if necessary.
  • 3. Verify timer setting: Some Sommer models allow adjustment of light‑on time. Reset to factory default per manual.
  • 4. If light stuck on/off: The light relay on the control board may be welded or open. Replace the control board if the light cannot be controlled by settings.
