Inglis Dryer light is out

If the interior light in your Inglis dryer is out, start with the simplest electrical parts: a bad light socket or a burned-out light assembly are the most likely causes. Use a multimeter to check for voltage at the socket; if power reaches the socket but the lamp still won’t light, replace the socket or the lamp assembly. If indicator lights or the display are the issue, the control panel, touchpad, or user control and display board will need replacing because those lights are built into those assemblies. Less commonly a faulty door switch will prevent power from reaching the light. Whether your symptom is a dryer light not working, control lights blinking, or the interior lamp that never turns on, RepairClinic carries the socket, light assembly, door switch, and control board parts you need.

01 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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.
