Speed Queen Dryer light is out
If your dryer interior light is out, start by checking the bulb, but if the bulb looks good the most likely cause is a bad light socket — use a multimeter to see whether voltage is reaching the socket before replacing it. After the socket, the next most likely culprits are the control panel assemblies: a failed control panel, touchpad/control panel assembly, or the user control and display board can keep the indicator light from coming on, so a dead light can often point to dryer controls not working rather than a simple burned bulb. Less commonly a faulty door switch will prevent power from reaching the light, and on some models the light assembly itself will need replacement. If you want the exact replacement part for your Speed Queen dryer, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to pull up parts that fit, and consider testing the socket and door switch with a multimeter before you order.
01 - Speed Queen 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 - Speed Queen 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.
