Samsung Oven light is out

When your Samsung oven light is not working, start with the oven control board, although it is not a common cause. The control board sends voltage to the light bulb or light assembly, so test whether power reaches the socket or assembly with a multimeter. If the light switch has continuity but no voltage reaches the light, the oven control board may be defective. Next, the complete light assembly may need replacement because Samsung often does not sell its components separately. A burned-out light bulb is another common reason an oven light is out. Test the bulb for continuity or try it in an identical socket. If your Samsung oven uses a halogen lamp, test it the same way. When power reaches the socket but the oven light still will not work, replace the faulty light socket. If the bulb or light board works normally, inspect the light housing, which may be preventing proper operation. Always disconnect power before servicing electrical parts. Enter your Samsung oven model number to find the exact replacement light assembly, bulb, halogen lamp, socket, housing, or oven control board for your specific range.

01 - Samsung 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 - Samsung 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.
