696050272 Genuine Lamp Holder Assembly for Smeg Appliances, Factory Replacement Light Socket Assembly

This is the genuine Smeg lamp holder assembly, part number 696050272. It's the fitting that carries the globe and its electrical contacts, and it comes as an assembly rather than a bare socket. Smeg uses several lamp holder versions across its range, all with very similar descriptions, so compare 696050272 with the number on your old part or the parts list for your model before ordering.

Smeg appliance light not working

A lamp holder lives with heat and vibration for years. Over time its contacts can corrode or lose their spring, the body can crack, and the wiring terminals can work loose. The usual sign is a light that flickers, works only when tapped, or stays dark even with a new globe fitted. Scorch marks or a brittle, discoloured housing around the globe point straight to the holder. Always try a known good globe first, then check for power at the holder before replacing it.

Replacing the lamp holder

Switch the appliance off at the wall, or isolate it at the circuit breaker if it's hard-wired, and let any hot surfaces cool. Remove the globe and lens, then photograph the wiring before releasing the holder. Hard-wired appliances should be worked on by a licensed electrician. Refit the wires to the same terminals, seat the holder fully and test the light.
