Customer Question

The light inside my Beko BBIF22100X electric oven has stopped working. I replaced the bulb, but the light still won't turn on. The oven functions fine otherwise, but it's hard to see inside without the light. Any suggestions on what to check next?

I will try and help with this problem about Beko BBIF22100X Built In Single Oven,

Hi Riccardo, sorry to hear about the issue with your Beko BBIF22100X oven light. If replacing the bulb didn't solve the problem, there are a few other potential causes to consider. I've also included exploded diagrams, common problems with electrical ovens, and related videos on light bulb faults with Beko BBIF22100X ovens below that might help you.

One possibility is that there may be an issue with the light socket itself. Over time, the socket can wear out or become corroded, preventing a good connection with the bulb. This could be why the new bulb isn’t working.

Another potential issue could be with the wiring connected to the light socket. If there's a loose or damaged wire, the bulb won't receive power even if it's properly installed. Check the wiring for any signs of fraying, disconnection, or burn marks.

If you're sure the bulb is in good condition, which you can check with a multimeter, the issue might be with the fitting. Sometimes these fittings corrode due to humidity in the oven during cooking.

If you look at the diagram below, part number 375 relates to the light fitting. Match this with the parts list at the bottom of the page to get the genuine part number. You can test this by removing the back of the oven, turning it on to a setting, and checking for 240 or 220 volts at the fitting, depending on your location in Europe or the UK.

If the light doesn't come on, it usually means the fitting has corroded or the bulb is bad. If there's no power at that point, it could be a faulty selector switch that's not sending power to the light fitting. You need to check all these components.

I've included a wiring diagram and workshop manual to help you understand how to take apart the oven. It's not a difficult job and should take about half an hour to diagnose. If you need more help, feel free to contact us.

 

To address these issues, start with the simplest solutions. Ensure the bulb is correctly installed and that the socket is in good condition. If the socket seems fine, check the wiring for any obvious issues. If you’re comfortable doing so, use a multimeter to test for continuity in the socket and wiring. You can buy a multimeter via our affiliate link if you don't have.

In the video, I mentioned about 5 common problems.;

  1. Oven will not heat because the element is faulty.
  2. Oven won't heat because timer on manual.
  3. Oven won't heat because of a fault with thermostat or selector switch.
  4. Oven not cooking evenly (one element faulty or fan not working correctly).
  5. Oven not reaching temperature normally an element but possible fan motor.

 

Common Problems with Electrical Ovens

 

  • The oven will not turn on

The first thing you need to check is that the oven timer is not on auto if it is, turn it on to manual.

  • No Heat in Oven

If the fan is running and the thermostat light comes on but you get no heat (or just the thermostat light on in non-fan ovens and cookers) then the probability is that the fan element or oven elements have failed.

  • Electricity trips (Rcd) when I turn the oven on or grill

This is normally an element that has gone to earth, This is a well-known fault with electric ovens, the insulation breaks down in the elements and trips the RCD , best way is to stick a meter on each element and check that they have not got earth leaks on them. But this can also be a wiring fault.

  • The grill element doesn't work

This would usually indicate that the grill element is faulty. Check these: Grill element, Oven changeover switch, Overheat thermostat, Main oven thermostat, if used to regulate the grill temperature.

  • The oven fan is not working or spinning correctly (slow) or is noisy

The fan motor may need to be replaced see video on this also the cooling fan motor can cause same problems.

  • The oven overheats and burns everything

Normally this is a simple thermostat failure which would manifest itself as this symptom.

  • The oven or cooker cuts out after it's been on for a while

This is an overheating problem which can be caused by the fan motor or main oven thermostat or a faulty safety thermostat that will be causing the problem. It can also be caused by a failure of the cooling fan, where fitted, but usually these go noisy before failing, Safety thermostats are used to prevent the oven or cooker overheating and will shut the oven down.
