Thermador Oven light is out

When your Thermador oven light is out, start by checking the light switch (if present) or the oven control board, although this is not a common failure. The control board sends voltage to the light bulb or light assembly, so use a multimeter to verify whether power reaches the socket or assembly. If the light switch has continuity but no voltage reaches the light, the oven control board may need replacement. Next, inspect the light assembly, since Thermador may sell the complete assembly instead of individual components. A burned-out oven light bulb or failed halogen lamp is another common cause. Test either part for continuity or install it in an identical socket. If power reaches the socket but the oven light still does not work, replace the defective light socket. A faulty light housing can also prevent the bulb or light board from operating, especially when power is present at the socket. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. To find the correct Thermador oven light replacement, enter your model number and we'll show parts that fit your specific oven, including the exact bulb, light assembly, socket, housing, or control board.

01 - Thermador 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.

04 - Thermador Range/Stove/Oven Halogen Lamp

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.

05 - Thermador Range/Stove/Oven Light Socket

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.

06 - Thermador 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.
