If your Admiral oven light is out, the oven light not working is usually caused by a failed light assembly, burned-out oven light bulb, halogen lamp, light socket, or light housing. The oven control board is listed first because it supplies voltage to the light, but it is not a common failure. Before replacing it, use a multimeter to check whether the light socket or light assembly is receiving power and confirm that the light switch has continuity. If the assembly is not available as separate components, replace the complete Admiral oven light assembly. If your Admiral oven uses a bulb, test the oven light bulb for continuity or install it in an identical socket. A failed halogen lamp should be tested the same way. If power reaches the socket but the oven light remains out, replace the light socket. If the bulb or light board works but the surrounding light housing does not, the housing may be defective. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Admiral range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact oven light replacement part for your appliance.
01 - Admiral 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.
