544733 Genuine Oven Lamp Holder for Fisher & Paykel Ovens, Replacement Oven Light Globe Socket

When the oven light stays off even with a new globe, the lamp holder is a likely cause. Part 544733 is a genuine Fisher & Paykel lamp holder, the socket the oven globe fits into. Holders vary between ovens and globe types, so compare it with your old holder and check the model number and product code on the oven's rating label before ordering.

Fisher & Paykel oven light not working? It may be the lamp holder

The lamp holder lives in one of the hottest spots in the oven. Years of heat cycling can make its body brittle, scorch the contacts and loosen the wiring terminals behind it. Common signs are a light that flickers, works only when the globe is wiggled, blows globes often, or won't light at all with a known good globe. Burnt or discoloured contacts and a globe that's hard to remove are also hints. A failed holder won't stop the oven cooking, but a scorched connection should be fixed promptly.

Replacing the lamp holder

Isolate the oven at the switch or circuit breaker and wait until it's cold. Remove the lamp cover and globe, then reach the holder, which often means taking off a rear or side panel. Photograph the wiring, move the wires across one at a time, and check the terminals are tight. Since ovens are usually hard-wired, have a licensed electrician or appliance technician do it if you're unsure.

Questions about this part

Does the lamp holder come with a globe?

No, 544733 is the holder only. Reuse your globe if it still works, or fit a new oven-rated globe of the same type and wattage. A standard household globe isn't designed to cope with oven heat.
