Possible Causes

Burned-out oven light bulb, failed light socket, bad light switch or relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power or at least ensure the light circuit is off before changing bulbs.

  • Replace bulb: Remove the light cover inside the oven and replace the bulb with the correct high-temperature appliance bulb.
  • Inspect socket: Check for corrosion or burn marks in the socket; replace if damaged.
  • Test switch/relay: If bulb and socket are good, the door switch or control relay may not be energizing the light and should be tested with a multimeter.
