If your Maytag range vent hood lights are not working, the light assembly or bulb is the most likely cause. Some Maytag models use a complete vent hood light assembly instead of a separately replaceable bulb, so check which part your model requires. If your hood uses a halogen lamp, one or more bulbs may be burned out even when they look normal. Test each halogen lamp for continuity with a multimeter, or replace the bulbs. If a new bulb does not light, test the vent hood light socket for incoming power. A powered socket with no working light indicates a defective socket. Next, check the light switch for continuity, then test the push button switch. Replace either switch if it lacks continuity. These checks can help fix range hood lights not working without replacing unrelated parts. Disconnect power before testing or replacing components, and enter your Maytag 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.

If the vent hood light is burned out, replace it. Some manufacturers do not sell the light bulb as an individual part; instead, they require you to purchase the light assembly.

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.
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.
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.
To determine if the push button switch is defective, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the push button switch does not have continuity, replace it
