Possible Causes
Burned-out oven light bulb, Failed oven light switch, Faulty door switch, Broken light socket or wiring
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off power before replacing the bulb or working on the light socket to avoid electric shock.
Step-by-step:
- Replace bulb: Remove the light cover inside the oven and replace the bulb with a high-temperature appliance bulb of the correct wattage.
- Test door switch: Press the door switch plunger by hand and listen for a click. If it feels loose or does not click, replace the oven door switch.
- Check light switch: On models with a separate light switch on the control panel, test for continuity when switched on. Replace the light rocker switch if open.
- Inspect socket and wiring: If the bulb and switches are good, inspect the light socket and wiring for burns or loose connections. Replace the oven light socket if damaged.
