Bosch Dryer light is out
If your Bosch dryer light is out, start with the most likely cause: a faulty light socket. Use a multimeter to see whether voltage reaches the socket and replace the socket if power is present but the bulb still won’t light. If the socket checks out, the next likely causes are failures in the control assemblies: the control panel, touchpad/control panel assembly, or the user control and display board, since the indicator lights are built into those modules and cannot be replaced separately; when those boards fail it often appears as dryer controls not working or a dead indicator light. Less commonly, a bad door switch can keep the light from getting power, so test the switch for continuity when the door is actuated and replace it if it fails. The light assembly itself is possible but less frequent, so inspect the bulb and housing for burn marks or damage. Enter your dryer model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part that fits your machine and get the part number and instructions you need.
01 - Bosch 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.

The dryer control panel indicator lights are part of the touchpad and control panel and cannot be replaced separately. If an control panel indicator light is not working, the entire touchpad and control panel assembly will need to be replaced.

04 - Bosch Dryer User Control and Display Board
The dryer control panel indicator lights are part of the user control and display board and cannot be replaced separately. If an control panel indicator light is not working, the user control and display board will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
05 - Bosch 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.
Less Common
06 - Bosch Dryer Light Assembly
The most likely cause of a dryer interior light not working is a defective light assembly. Inspect the assembly for any visible damage or burn marks and replace as required.
