Issue
- Oven light does not work
- Oven light turns off on certain functions/settings/programs
Applies to
- Built-in oven
- Freestanding cooker
Resolution
Sometimes the light/lamp inside the oven may not come on. Before we look at replacing the bulb, here is a few points worth noting.
- Not every heating function you select will automatically turn the lamp on/off. To ensure it is definitely a fault with the lamp, either select the specific light function (if your oven has one) or select either true fan cooking (AEG)
or just regular conventional cooking
- Both these modes will automatically turn the light/lamp on. If it doesn't come on, this will indicate a problem with the lamp its self (*or potentially something else)
- If the lamp fails to operate it may be defective and need replacing (see steps on how to remove/refit below)
- If the oven is new and within the manufactures warranty and the lamp has suddenly stopped working please contact the retail outlet you purchased the oven as the lamp should not be defective straight out the box.
- *If you have replaced the defective lamp and it still doesn't work , there may be another issue which will require an engineer visit.
How to Replace the light bulb.
- If the light does not work in any heating mode, and the bulb’s glass is dark / black, it is likely to be blown and thus needs to be replaced.
- Before you purchase a new light bulb, make sure you know the exact type of socket used (e.g. E14, G4, G9).
- You can buy a new bulb from our website HERE: Webshop
