GE Oven light is out
When your GE range, stove, or oven light is out, the oven light not working may be caused by the oven control board, although this is not a common failure. The control board sends voltage to the light bulb or light assembly, so test for power at the light socket or assembly with a multimeter. If the light switch has continuity but no voltage reaches the socket, the oven control board may need replacement. Next, the complete light assembly may be defective, especially when its components are not sold separately. A burned-out oven light bulb or failed halogen lamp is another common cause. Test the bulb or lamp for continuity, or install it in an identical socket. If the bulb is good and power reaches the socket, replace the light socket. A faulty light housing can also prevent the GE oven light from working when the bulb or light board is otherwise functional. Whether you need an oven light bulb, light assembly, socket, housing, or control board, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific GE range, stove, or oven.
01 - GE 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 - GE 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.
