ARDO Dryer light is out
If the interior light in your ARDO dryer is out when you open the door, start with the simplest checks and work up. The most likely fault is a bad light socket or lack of voltage at the socket, so use a multimeter to see if power reaches the lamp; if it does but the lamp stays dark, replace the socket. Next in line are control assemblies: the control panel, touchpad, and user control/display board all contain indicator lighting and must be replaced as whole units when their lights fail, so a faulty control board can make the dryer light not working even though the bulb and socket look fine. Less commonly, a defective door switch can prevent voltage from reaching the light; test the switch for continuity when the door is opened and closed. A burned or damaged light assembly itself is also possible but less frequent. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your dryer and step-by-step instructions to complete the repair.
01 - ARDO 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 - ARDO 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.
