Check 1
Result Possible Cause
Open the oven door and turn on the oven light Light does not work
1 No power to range
2 Light bulb failed (most likely cause)
3 Fault in power supply to switch
4 Faulty switch
Action
1 Are other parts of the range working - is the clock on, do the ovens and oven neons work? If not then there
is probably no power to the range. Investigate power supply.
2 Remove the light bulb (see ‘Servicing Procedures’). Check the bulb with a resistance with a meter. The cold
resistance should be very approximately 100 ohms. Replace it if it is open circuit.
3 & 4 If the bulb is OK then move the range forward (see ‘Servicing Procedures’) and remove the rear cover. With
the meter check the continuity of the wiring to the bulb and the action of the switch. Replace wiring or
switch as necessary.
