Possible Causes

Burned-out oven light bulb, Failed light socket, Faulty door switch, Defective light relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power or unplug the range before changing the bulb or socket.

  • Replace bulb: Remove the glass light cover inside the oven (usually twists off). Replace the bulb with the correct high-temperature appliance bulb specified by GE.
  • Test door switch: Press the door switch by hand; if the light does not respond and the switch feels loose or does not click, replace the switch.
  • Inspect socket: If a new bulb does not work, inspect the socket for burning or corrosion. Replace the socket if damaged.
  • Control issue: If the switch and socket are good, the light relay on the control board may have failed.

Note: Use only oven-rated bulbs; standard bulbs may shatter from heat.
