Whirlpool Range vent hood lights not working
If your Whirlpool range vent hood lights are not working, start with the light assembly or light bulb, since a burned-out bulb is the most common cause. Some Whirlpool models use a complete vent hood light assembly instead of a separately replaceable bulb. If your hood uses halogen lamps, one or more may have failed; test each lamp for continuity with a multimeter or replace the bulbs. Next, check the light socket. If the socket receives power but the bulb does not illuminate, the socket is defective and should be replaced. A failed light switch or push button switch can also prevent the range vent hood light from turning on. Test each switch for continuity and replace it if it does not show continuity when activated. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Whirlpool 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.
01 - Whirlpool Range Vent Hood Light Assembly
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.

03 - Whirlpool 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 - Whirlpool 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 - Whirlpool 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.
