Oven cavity lamp failure
Oven light does not work but oven heats normally
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Burnt-out oven bulb, Faulty lamp holder, Broken lamp glass from heat, Faulty light switch or relay
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before replacing the bulb to avoid shock and burns.
- Replace bulb: Remove the glass cover over the lamp (usually twists off) and replace the bulb with the correct high-temperature oven lamp (same wattage and base type).
- Inspect lamp holder: Check for discoloration, cracks, or loose contacts. Replace the holder if damaged.
- Test switch: If your model has a manual light switch, verify it clicks and functions. Replace if faulty.
- Control relay: If the lamp and holder are good but the light never comes on, the control board's light relay may be defective.
Note: Do not touch new halogen bulbs with bare fingers; use a cloth or gloves.
