Magic Chef Dryer light is out
If your dryer interior light is not working, it’s usually an electrical fault you can diagnose without tearing the dryer apart. Start with the light socket: when a new bulb or an undamaged bulb still won’t light, use a multimeter to check for voltage at the socket, because a bad socket is the most likely cause. If the socket has power, the next suspects are the electronics — indicator lights are built into the control panel, touchpad, or user control and display board, and those assemblies must be replaced as a whole when their lights fail, so it can look like dryer controls not working. Less commonly the door switch will keep the light from seeing voltage, so test the switch for continuity when actuated. A visibly burned or damaged light assembly is possible but less likely. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your dryer, and use the socket and switch checks to confirm which part you need before you order.
01 - Magic Chef Dryer Light Socket
If the light itself is newly installed or shows no signs of damage, yet still won't work, it's possible the light socket is defective. You can use a multimeter to test whether or not voltage is reaching the light socket. If the meter shows that power is reaching the light socket then it's likely the socket is malfunctioning and will need to be replaced.

The dryer door switch will turn the interior light off when the door is closed and turn it back on when the door is opened. If the switch is defective, it may be unable to allow voltage to reach the light. You can use a multimeter to test the door switch for appropriate electrical continuity when actuated. If the switch doesn't provide appropriate continuity, it will need to be replaced.
