If your Amana oven light is out, the problem is usually a failed light assembly or oven light bulb, but several parts can cause an oven light not working symptom. Start by checking the light assembly, since its components are often sold as one unit. Next, test the light bulb or halogen lamp for continuity, or install it in an identical socket to confirm it has burned out. If the bulb is good, check whether the light socket is receiving power. A powered socket that does not illuminate points to a defective socket. The light housing may also be faulty if power reaches the socket or assembly but the oven light stays off. Although less common, a defective oven control board can fail to send voltage to the bulb or light assembly. Use a multimeter to test for voltage and continuity, and disconnect power before servicing your Amana range, stove, or oven. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement oven light bulb, light assembly, socket, housing, or control board for your specific appliance.
01 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board
The oven control board is used to send voltage to nearly all of the oven's electrical components including the lights. If the control board is defective, it may be unable to send voltage to the light bulb or light board, although this is not a common problem. You can use a multimeter to determine if power is reaching the light socket or light assembly. If power is not reaching the light socket or light assembly and the light switch tests positive for electrical continuity when tested with a multimeter, then the control board is likely defective and will need to be replaced.

To determine if a halogen lamp has failed, you can use a multimeter to test it for electrical continuity, or install the lamp into an identical socket to test it.
Use a multimeter to test for power to the light socket. If the light socket is getting power, but the oven light won’t work, this indicates that the light socket is defective. If the light socket is defective, replace it.
If you've determined the light bulb has not burned out or the light board appears to be functioning normally, it's possible that the light housing the bulb or board is installed in is faulty. Use a multimeter to determine if power is reaching the light socket or light assembly. If power is reaching the socket or assembly, then it's likely the light housing is malfunctioning and will need to be replaced.
