Hotpoint Range vent hood lights not working

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.
