GE Range vent hood lights not working

If your GE range vent hood lights are not working, start with the light assembly or bulb, which are the most common causes. A burned-out light may require replacing the complete vent hood light assembly because some GE models do not sell the bulb separately. If your hood uses a replaceable bulb or halogen lamp, install a new one or test the halogen lamp for continuity with a multimeter. If a new bulb does not restore the light, test the light socket for incoming power. A socket that has power but does not illuminate the bulb is defective and should be replaced. Less common causes include a failed light switch or push button switch. Test either switch for continuity and replace it if it does not conduct when activated. Always disconnect power before inspecting or replacing parts, and use a multimeter only if you know how to test electrical components safely. Enter your GE range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement light assembly, light bulb, halogen lamp, light socket, light switch, or push button switch for your appliance.

03 - GE 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.
