The Oven Light Lens is an OEM part for GE ovens, designed to protect and cover the oven light bulb. It allows for a clear view of the oven's interior, making it easier to monitor the cooking progress without opening the oven door, thus maintaining a consistent temperature.
Over time, the oven light lens can become discolored or cloudy from exposure to high temperatures, grease, and food splatters, which can diminish its effectiveness. Additionally, accidental bumps or cleaning can lead to cracks or breaks in the lens.
Symptoms of a bad Oven Light Lens include:
- Diminished light output, making it hard to see inside the oven
- Cracks or damage to the lens itself
- Discoloration or cloudiness that cannot be cleaned off
- The lens becoming loose or falling off
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
