If your Gaggenau oven light is out, the problem may be in the control board, light assembly, bulb, halogen lamp, light socket, or light housing. Although an oven control board is not a common cause, it supplies voltage to many electrical components, including the oven light. If the light switch has continuity but no power reaches the light socket or assembly, the control board may need replacement. Next, inspect the light assembly, since some Gaggenau oven light components are not sold separately. A burned-out oven light bulb or failed halogen lamp can be checked with a multimeter for continuity or tested in an identical socket. If the socket receives power but the oven light is not working, replace the light socket. If the bulb or light board works and power reaches the assembly, the light housing may be faulty. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Gaggenau oven model number to find the exact oven light bulb, light assembly, control board, socket, or housing that fits your range, stove, or oven.
01 - Gaggenau 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.
