Range & Wall Oven - Oven Light Operation

Almost all Ranges and Wall Ovens have an interior oven light. On some models, the oven light will turn on automatically when the oven door is opened. Other models have a light switch for manually operating the oven light.

Understanding the Operation and Use of the Oven Interior Light

If your Range or Wall Oven has a light switch for manually operating the interior oven light, you will be able to turn on the oven light and look through the window at the food without having to open the door. You will find the switch on the control panel or on the area above the door. The light switch will typically be an ON/OFF switch that toggles up and down or it will be an OVEN LIGHT pad/button.

• On Double Oven Ranges and Double Wall Ovens, the light will come on when you open the oven door.  
• On some Double Oven Ranges and Double Wall Oven models that have one OVEN LIGHT pad, you must first press the Upper Oven or Lower Oven pad to designate which oven the OVEN LIGHT pad will control.
• On some Double Oven Ranges and Double Wall Oven models, the oven lights will come on in both ovens when pressing the light icon on the LCD screen or SmartHQ app,

Additional Support

If the light does not come on when the light switch is set to ON, check the bulb to see whether it needs to be replaced. Consult the Owner's Manual for the model you own for information about changing the light bulb.

Should you replace the light bulb and it still does not work, service may be needed. For service, please schedule a repair appointment with GE Appliances Factory Service.
