Universal Range vent hood lights not working
When your Universal range vent hood lights are not working, start with the light assembly or bulb, which are the most common causes of a range hood light not working. Some manufacturers do not sell the bulb separately, so you may need to replace the complete vent hood light assembly. If your hood uses halogen lamps, one or more bulbs may have burned out even if the damage is not visible. Test each halogen lamp for continuity with a multimeter, or replace the bulbs. If a new bulb still does not work, test the light socket for incoming power. A powered socket with no working light usually needs replacement. Less common causes include a defective light switch or push button switch. Test either switch for continuity and replace it if it fails. Disconnect power before testing or replacing electrical parts. Enter your range vent hood's model number to find the exact replacement light assembly, light bulb, halogen lamp, socket, light switch, or push button switch for your specific appliance.

03 - Universal Range Vent Hood Halogen Lamp
One or more of the halogen lamp bulbs may be burned out. Since it’s very difficult to visually determine if any of the halogen lamps have burned out, use a multimeter to test them for continuity. Alternatively, you can just try replacing the bulbs.

04 - Universal Range Vent Hood Light Socket
To determine if the light socket is defective, use a multimeter to test the incoming power to the socket. If the light socket has power, but the light bulb isn’t working, replace the light socket.
Top Solution
05 - Universal Range Vent Hood Light Switch
To determine if the light switch is defective, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the light switch does not have continuity, replace it.
