Possible Causes

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

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power or unplug the range before replacing the bulb or working near the socket.

  • Replace bulb: Remove the glass light cover inside the oven (usually twists off). Replace the bulb with the correct type and wattage specified by Danby.
  • Test door switch: Locate the door switch on the frame. Press it in and out; you should hear a click. Test continuity with a multimeter; replace if it does not change state.
  • Inspect socket: Check for corrosion or heat damage at the bulb socket. Clean contacts or replace the socket if necessary.
  • Control relay: If the bulb, switch, and socket are good, the control board may not be energizing the light circuit. Replace the EOC if confirmed.
