When your Kelvinator oven light is out, the problem may be a failed oven control board, light assembly, or oven light bulb. The control board supplies voltage to the light, although it is not a common failure. Use a multimeter to check whether power reaches the light socket or light assembly, and verify that the light switch has continuity. If the switch works but the board is not sending power, replace the oven control board. Next, inspect the light assembly, since some Kelvinator models do not sell its components separately. A burned-out oven light bulb is another common cause of an oven light not working. Test the bulb for continuity or install it in an identical socket. If your range uses a halogen lamp, test it the same way. Power at the socket with no light indicates a defective light socket. If the bulb or light board works but the oven light remains out, the light housing may be faulty. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Kelvinator range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact oven light replacement part for your appliance.
01 - Kelvinator 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.
