Over time, oven light bulbs can burn out or be damaged from high temperatures or accidental bumps during cleaning or cooking. A functioning light bulb is crucial for the optimal operation of your oven, enhancing visibility and improving your cooking experience.

Symptoms of a bad Light Bulb include:

• The oven interior remains dark when the light switch is engaged.
• Flickering light, indicating a loose connection or nearing the end of the bulb's lifespan.
• Completely non-functional light, which can hinder your ability to monitor cooking progress.
