Possible Causes

Burnt-out oven bulb, Faulty lamp socket, Broken lamp glass cover, Light switch or relay fault on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool before replacing the bulb.

  • Replace bulb: Remove the glass cover (usually twist-off) and replace the bulb with the correct Bosch high-temperature oven lamp.
  • Inspect socket: Check for corrosion or heat damage. Replace the lamp holder if contacts are loose or burnt.
  • Check door-activated function: Some models only light when the door is opened or a key is pressed. Verify correct operation.
  • Control issue: If a new bulb and socket do not work, the light relay or control circuit may be faulty and the main control board may need replacement.
