But over time, the oven light can burn out or malfunction. Replacing just the bulb doesn't always do the trick if the issues lie with the light socket or wiring. When the oven light assembly itself needs replacing, the repair is fairly straightforward if you're up for a DIY project. With a few tools and a replacement part, you can swap out the oven light assembly in no time at all.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZenLa3Q66Lo\"><b>Watch: How to replace oven light assembly<\/b><\/a>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The information in this article may not apply to your specific appliance model. We recommend consulting your manufacturer's documentation or<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/repair-help\/\"> <b>contact us<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with any questions.<\/span><\/em>\r\n\r\n[lwptoc numeration=\"none\"]\r\n<p style=\"font-size:14.5px;margin:14px 0;font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,sans-serif\"><a href=\"#app-safety-notes\">Full safety notes below<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacing Oven Light Assemblies<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The oven light assembly is the housing that holds the lightbulb and wiring. It connects to the back wall of the oven cavity and is powered by household electricity. Over time through high heat and vibration, the oven light can stop working properly. Some common oven light issues include:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The light not turning on<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light flickering or intermittent operation<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light bulb burning out frequently<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cracked or damaged lens cover<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any of these common oven light problems, the issue likely lies with the light assembly itself. Simply replacing the light bulb often doesn't fix these types of faults. The entire oven light assembly eventually needs to be replaced.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag oven models, the oven light assembly is relatively easy for the DIYer to replace. The repair can be done in no time with some simple tools and the new replacement part.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety Tips When Replacing the Oven Light<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anytime you are working on an appliance like the oven, it's critical to exercise caution and follow safety measures. Here are some key safety tips to follow when replacing an oven light assembly:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always make sure the oven is completely cool before starting. Attempting to access a hot oven could result in burns.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before servicing the appliance, turn off the power supply at the circuit breaker. This eliminates the risk of electric shock.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unplug the oven before beginning work for added safety. This helps you make sure no electricity is running to the unit.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use insulated gloves when handling hot components like bulbs or housing.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from debris.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take care not to touch or damage wire connections when removing parts.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise caution when handling broken glass like a shattered light cover.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following these simple but critical safety tips will allow you to replace the oven light safely and avoid potential electrical or burn hazards.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gather the Required Tools<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You'll want to have the following tools available before disassembling the oven:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacement oven light assembly (the correct part # for your model)<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phillips head screwdriver<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flat head screwdriver<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Needle nose pliers<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work gloves for protection<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety goggles\/glasses<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to purchase and have ready the new replacement oven light assembly specific to your appliance's model number.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Replace an Oven Light Assembly in a Whirlpool\/KitchenAid\/Maytag Oven<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unplug the oven from the outlet<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shut off the appropriate circuit breaker<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To start, fully open the oven door. Pull out the top oven rack until it stops, then lift up the front slightly to fully remove it. Set the rack aside. Doing this provides the access you'll need to the oven light housing.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reach inside the oven to access the light assembly. Gently turn the outer lens cover counterclockwise to unscrew it. Remove the lens and set aside.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, grasp the light bulb and turn gently counterclockwise to unscrew it from the socket. Remove the light bulb from the assembly and set it aside with the lens cover.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examine the oven light assembly and locate the locking tabs that hold it in place. These are typically positioned at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry the locking tabs away from the housing. This will take some care, so work slowly. Bend the tabs down to release the assembly from the wall of the oven.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You'll need to disconnect the appliance wires leading to the assembly before fully removing the assembly. Use needle nose pliers to grasp and detach the connector wires from the rear of the assembly. Applying gentle, even pressure, pull the wires off.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can now fully remove the oven light assembly by grasping it and pulling it away from the oven wall. Pull firmly but slowly to avoid damaging the wires. Place the old assembly aside.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You're now ready to install the replacement oven light assembly. Use the needle nose pliers to grasp the connector wires and attach them to the same terminals on the back of the new assembly. Refer to the wiring diagram that came with the new part for proper connections.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carefully insert the new oven light assembly into the opening in the oven wall. Push the assembly in while aligning the locking tabs into their slots. Apply firm pressure to seat the tabs and hold the assembly in place.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Screw the glass lens cover and light bulb back into place on the new light assembly. Turn them clockwise to tighten. Don't over-tighten.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the light assembly replaced, slide the oven rack back into position and make sure it's seated properly.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You're almost done! Restore power to the oven and plug it back in. Turn on the oven light switch to verify that the new assembly lights up properly. Confirm that it works by observing the light turn on through the oven door glass.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That completes the process of successfully replacing your faulty oven light assembly. With a little time and effort, you can renew the interior lighting of your Whirlpool, KitchenAid or Maytag oven.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where To Find Us\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need any replacement parts for your appliances, you can enter your<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-find-your-appliances-model-number\/\"> <b>model number<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"> <b>AppliancePartsPros.com<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to locate and order them quickly.
