Possible Causes

Blown oven light socket, Failed oven light switch or door switch, Broken wiring to light assembly, Faulty EOC light relay (on electronic models)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the light socket or wiring.

Steps:

  • Verify bulb: Ensure you are using the correct high-temperature appliance bulb and that it is screwed in firmly.
  • Inspect socket: Check the socket for corrosion, burns, or loose contacts. Replace the socket if damaged.
  • Door switch: On models with a door-activated light, test the door switch for continuity when pressed. Replace if faulty.
  • Control relay: On electronic Magic Chef ranges, if the light is controlled by a keypad, the EOC relay may have failed. Replace the EOC if the relay does not energize with a known-good bulb and wiring.

Tip: Avoid touching the new bulb glass with bare fingers; oils can shorten its life.
