Possible Causes

Burnt drum light bulb or LED, Faulty door switch contact for light, Loose light socket wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before replacing the light or accessing wiring.

  • Replace bulb or LED module: Locate the drum light cover inside the drum. Remove the cover and replace the bulb or LED module with the correct Ikea-specified part.
  • Check door switch: Some models use the same switch for light and control. If the dryer runs but the light does not work, the light contact may be faulty. Test with a multimeter and replace the switch if needed.

This fault does not affect drying performance but can be corrected by replacing the failed light component.
