- Replace with the correct appliance oven bulb (often 40W or as specified).
- Test light function:
- Restore power and press the light switch.
- If still no light, proceed.
- Inspect socket and wiring:
- With power off, inspect the socket for burns or corrosion.
- Check wiring connections at the socket and control board.

- Replace the oven light socket if damaged.
