Montgomery Wards Oven light is out
If your Montgomery Wards oven light is out, the problem may be in the oven control board, light assembly, light bulb, halogen lamp, light socket, or light housing. The oven control board supplies voltage to the light and other electrical components, but this is not a common failure. If the light switch has continuity but no voltage reaches the light socket or assembly, the control board may need replacement. More often, the complete light assembly is defective, especially when its components are not sold separately. A burned-out oven light bulb or failed halogen lamp can also leave the oven light not working. Test the bulb or lamp for continuity, or install it in an identical socket. If the socket receives power but the oven light stays out, replace the light socket. A faulty light housing can cause the same symptom when power reaches the socket or assembly. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts, and use a multimeter only if you know how to test safely. Enter your Montgomery Wards range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement part that fits your appliance.
01 - Montgomery Wards 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 - Montgomery Wards 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.
