If your LG oven light is out, the most likely cause is a failed light assembly, especially when the bulb or light board is not sold separately. A burned-out oven light bulb is another common cause, and you can test the bulb for continuity with a multimeter or install it in an identical socket. Some LG models use a halogen lamp instead of a standard oven light bulb, so test that lamp the same way. If the bulb or lamp is good, check the light socket. Power at the socket with no light indicates a defective socket that needs replacement. A faulty light housing can also prevent the oven light from working when power reaches the assembly. The oven control board supplies voltage to the light and other electrical components, but control board failure is less common. If the light switch has continuity but no voltage reaches the socket or light assembly, the control board may be defective. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your LG range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact oven light replacement part, socket, light assembly, or control board for your appliance.
01 - LG 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.
