Magic Chef Range vent hood lights not working

When your Magic Chef range vent hood lights are not working, the most likely cause is a burned-out vent hood light assembly. Some Magic Chef models require the complete assembly instead of a replacement bulb. Next, check the vent hood light bulb or halogen lamp, since a burned-out bulb can stop the light from working even when the hood fan operates normally. If replacing the bulb does not fix the problem, test the light socket for incoming power with a multimeter. A socket that has power but does not illuminate the bulb is defective and should be replaced. The light switch is another possible cause. Test it for continuity, and replace it if it fails the test. On models with push-button controls, a defective push button switch can also prevent the light from turning on. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts, and use the wiring diagram when needed. Enter your Magic Chef range vent hood model number to find the exact light assembly, bulb, halogen lamp, socket, light switch, or push button switch for your appliance.
