If your Hotpoint range vent hood lights are not working, the light assembly or light bulb is usually the cause. Start by replacing the bulb, since some Hotpoint range vent hoods use a complete light assembly instead of a separately sold bulb. If your vent hood uses halogen lamps, one or more may be burned out even when the damage is not visible. Test each lamp for continuity with a multimeter, or replace the lamps as needed. If a new bulb or halogen lamp does not restore the light, test the light socket for incoming power. A powered socket that will not light the bulb may need replacement. Next, check the light switch and push button switch for continuity. Replace either switch if it fails the test. These parts can correct a Hotpoint range vent hood light that is out, flickering, or not turning on. Before ordering, enter your range vent hood's model number to find the exact replacement light assembly, bulb, halogen lamp, socket, light switch, or push button switch for your specific 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
