If your Kenmore range vent hood lights are not working, start with the light assembly or light bulb, which are the most common causes. A burned-out bulb may require replacing the complete vent hood light assembly because some Kenmore models do not offer the bulb separately. If your Kenmore range vent hood uses halogen lamps, one or more halogen bulbs may have failed. Test each lamp for continuity with a multimeter, or replace the bulbs if testing is not practical. If a new bulb does not restore the light, check the light socket for incoming power. A socket that has power but does not illuminate the bulb is defective and should be replaced. The light switch is another likely cause. Test it for continuity and replace it if it fails. Finally, test the push button switch, since a failed switch can prevent the range vent hood light from turning on. Always disconnect power before servicing electrical parts. Enter your Kenmore range vent hood model number to find the exact replacement light assembly, bulb, halogen lamp, socket, light switch, or push button switch for your appliance.

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
