316116400 Frigidaire Oven/Microwave Combo Light Socket

The Oven/Microwave Combo Light Socket is a genuine replacement part designed for use in Frigidaire electric ranges and wall ovens. This component also fits appliances from Electrolux, Gibson, and Kelvinator. It is engineered to secure the bulb and facilitate the electrical connection needed to light the oven's interior, enhancing visibility for cooking and cleaning.

The light socket connects directly to the oven’s light switch and wiring harness, playing a crucial role in the functionality of the oven’s lighting system. Common issues with light sockets may arise from normal wear and tear, such as a loose or broken connection, or from terminals that become scorched or burnt due to overheating. Moisture damage is another potential problem that can affect the socket’s performance.

Indications of a malfunctioning light socket include:
- The oven light failing to turn on upon activation
- A bulb that flickers or operates intermittently
- Visible corrosion or oxidation at the bulb base
- Unusually high heat around the light fixture

This replacement part is essential for maintaining the proper operation of the oven’s lighting and is compatible with several models from Frigidaire, including those branded under Sears-Kenmore.
