Thread: Oven lights not working

  1. #1

    Oven lights not working

    Model Number: KERC608LSS0
    Brand: KitchenAid
    Age: 6-10 years

    While replacing one of the bulbs the base broke off inside the socket and caused a short and now neither light works. No other oven function(s) appears to have been effected - just no lights in the oven, any suggestions? Thanks.

    Have you fixed the shorted light socket and replaced both bulbs?

    Tried new bulbs but still no good. Before I start replacing sockets, is it safe to assume that when the oven door is open and/or the oven light button is pressed there should be power to the socket(s)? Because there wasn't, so what now?

    How are you testing for power? When the door is open, it should be sending power to turn the light(s) on. The power for the light goes through the power control board, so it is very likely if you had a short that it burned out the power control board. Before replacing the control board it would probably be a good idea to replace the shorted light socket to make sure it doesn't burn out another control board.

    This is the power control board for your model:

    Ok, looks like I'll be replacing that control board after all. Can you recommend a web site for installation instructions, I've never done this repair before and some guidance and illustrations would be helpful. Thanks for all your help and advice.
