Kenmore Oven light is out
Is your Kenmore oven light out? The problem may be in the oven control board, light assembly, light bulb, halogen lamp, light socket, or light housing. Although a defective control board is not common, it can stop sending voltage to the light when the light switch has proper continuity. More often, the light assembly or oven light bulb has failed, especially if the bulb is burned out or the assembly components are not sold separately. A failed halogen lamp can cause the same symptom. If the bulb or lamp is good, use a multimeter to check whether power reaches the light socket or light assembly. Power at the socket with no light usually indicates a defective socket, while power at the assembly can point to a faulty light housing. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Whether you searched for "oven light not working," "oven light bulb," "oven light burned out," or "oven light replacement," enter your Kenmore oven's model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance.
01 - Kenmore 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.

05 - Kenmore Range/Stove/Oven Light Socket
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.

06 - Kenmore 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.
