An oven light that fails may seem minor, but it prevents you from checking cooking progress safely. Many light issues are easy to fix.
Common causes
Burnt-out bulb
The simplest cause is a standard oven bulb that has reached the end of its life.
Replacement bulbs cost £5 to £15.
Faulty lamp holder
The holder can corrode or break, preventing the bulb from working.
Lamp holder replacement usually costs £40 to £80.
Faulty switch
The door switch that turns on the light may fail.
Switch repairs often cost £60 to £120.
Control board or wiring issue
Less common but possible, the board may fail to supply power to the light.
Repairs can cost £150 to £350.
