Possible Causes

Burned-out oven light bulb, failed light socket, broken door switch, failed light relay on control

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Replace bulb: Remove the glass light cover inside the oven and replace the bulb with the correct high-temperature appliance bulb.
  • Check socket: Inspect the socket for corrosion or burning. If damaged, replace the socket.
  • Test door switch: On some models, the light is controlled by a door switch. Test for continuity when the door is opened/closed.
  • Control issue: If bulb, socket, and switch are good, the control board light relay may be faulty and the EOC may need replacement.
