Estate Dryer light is out
If your Estate dryer light is out, the most likely problem is a bad light socket when a new bulb shows no signs of damage; use a multimeter to see whether voltage is reaching the socket before buying parts. Next in likelihood are control and display issues: the control panel, touchpad or user control and display board can cause indicator lights or the start button to stop lighting and those components must be replaced as complete assemblies. A faulty door switch is less common but will cut power to the light when it fails, so test the switch for continuity while actuating it. The light assembly itself is also a possible cause if you see burn marks or physical damage. Whether you have an interior light, control panel indicator, or start-button problem, RepairClinic carries the right replacement parts and guides; enter your model number at RepairClinic.com to find the exact part that fits your dryer and get step-by-step repair help.
01 - Estate Dryer Light Socket
If the light itself is newly installed or shows no signs of damage, yet still won't work, it's possible the light socket is defective. You can use a multimeter to test whether or not voltage is reaching the light socket. If the meter shows that power is reaching the light socket then it's likely the socket is malfunctioning and will need to be replaced.

05 - Estate Dryer Door Switch
The dryer door switch will turn the interior light off when the door is closed and turn it back on when the door is opened. If the switch is defective, it may be unable to allow voltage to reach the light. You can use a multimeter to test the door switch for appropriate electrical continuity when actuated. If the switch doesn't provide appropriate continuity, it will need to be replaced.
