Gibson Dryer light is out
If the interior or console indicator light on your Gibson dryer is out, start with the simplest checks — a bad light socket or its wiring is the most common culprit, so try a known-good bulb and use a multimeter to verify voltage at the socket. If the console light is dead while the dryer otherwise works, the problem is often the control assembly: the control panel, touchpad, or user control/display board contain the indicator LEDs and must be replaced as complete assemblies since the individual lights are not serviceable. Less commonly the door switch can prevent the interior light from getting power; test the switch for continuity when actuated and replace it if it fails. Finally, inspect the light assembly for visible damage or burn marks and replace it if needed. Repair Clinic carries the parts and step-by-step guides you’ll need, and you can enter your dryer model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement light socket, control panel, door switch, or light assembly that fits your machine.
01 - Gibson 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.

02 - Gibson Dryer Control Panel
The dryer control panel indicator lights are part of the control panel assembly and cannot be replaced separately. If an control panel indicator light is not working, the entire control panel assembly will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
03 - Gibson Dryer Touchpad and Control Panel
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.
Highly Likely
04 - Gibson 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 - Gibson 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 - Gibson 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.
