Frigidaire Dryer light is out
If your Frigidaire dryer light is out, start with the simple checks and work from the most likely causes: a bad light socket is the top suspect, so inspect the bulb and socket and use a multimeter to see if voltage reaches the socket. Next, if the exterior indicator lights or console backlight are dead, the whole control panel assembly or touchpad/control assembly is often at fault because those indicator lights are built into the panel. The user control and display board is another likely culprit when electronics fail. Less commonly a faulty door switch will prevent voltage from reaching the lamp, and a burned or damaged light assembly itself can also be the reason. If you need a replacement part, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to pull up the exact light socket, control panel, touchpad, door switch, or light assembly that fits your dryer. If you’re seeing other symptoms with the console or buttons, this falls under dryer controls not working and points you toward the control assemblies first.
01 - Frigidaire 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.

05 - Frigidaire Dryer Door Switch
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.
