Magic Chef Oven light is out

If your Magic Chef oven light is out, the problem is usually the light assembly, light bulb, or halogen lamp, but the oven control board can also prevent the light from receiving voltage. Although control board failure is less common, test the light socket or light assembly with a multimeter. If the light switch has continuity but no voltage reaches the socket, the control board may be defective. Next, replace the light assembly if its components are not sold separately, or test the light bulb or halogen lamp for continuity by using a multimeter or an identical working socket. If the socket receives power but the oven light still does not work, replace the light socket. A faulty light housing can also keep the bulb or light board from operating when power is present. These steps can help diagnose an oven light not working, an oven light burned out, or a Magic Chef oven light replacement. Disconnect power before testing or replacing electrical parts, and enter your Magic Chef range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement part for your appliance.

01 - Magic Chef 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.

06 - Magic Chef Range/Stove/Oven Light Housing

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.
