The Light Socket Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and wall ovens. This part houses the oven light bulb, providing the necessary electrical connections to illuminate the oven's interior. It ensures that you can monitor the cooking process without opening the oven door, thereby maintaining a consistent temperature and energy efficiency.

Causes of damage to the light socket assembly often include excessive heat, electrical surges, or physical damage during cleaning or maintenance. 

A malfunctioning light socket assembly can lead to several issues, including:

• The inability to turn the oven light on
• Flickering or inconsistent lighting caused by loose connections or damage to the socket
• Complete failure of the light feature, due to wear and tear or electrical faults

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This oven light lens gasket seals the lens to the oven liner, helping keep heat, steam, and grease out of the light housing. It maintains a secure fit for the lens and protects the bulb and wiring.

• Creates a heat-resistant seal between the light lens and oven cavity
• Helps block heat, steam, and grease from entering the light assembly
• Stabilizes the lens/retainer so the lens sits flush and secure
• Common signs of failure: torn/brittle gasket, lens feels loose, condensation or grease inside the lens, or scorching around the light opening

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely before servicing
• Remove the lens retainer and lens to access the gasket; note orientation before removal
• Seat the new gasket evenly around the opening, then reinstall the lens and retainer without overtightening
• The lens sits flush and the seal is even after reassembly

Original Whirlpool light bulb, 40 watt.

Symptoms of needing to replace the light bulb include:

• Dimming or flickering light
• Complete lack of illumination inside the appliance
• Visible signs of damage or burnout on the bulb itself

Causes of a faulty light bulb can include normal burnout over time, electrical issues, or physical damage due to impact or vibrations.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, Frigidaire, GE, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore appliances.

• Senses oven cavity temperature and signals the control to cycle the heating element
• Stops oven overheating or underheating when the thermostat is functioning correctly
• Commonly replaced for inconsistent temperatures, oven running too hot/too cold, or no temperature control
• Works as the lower-oven temperature regulator in ranges with separate upper/lower oven controls

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Handle the sensing bulb and capillary tube carefully; do not kink or sharply bend
• Verify oven is fully cooled and remove oven racks for access before installation
