I'm sure Scarlat has been waiting around since 2006 and has the answer.

I have the same problem but when I check the voltage at the center contact to ground I have 120 vac. Did you resolve you issue? If so how?

[Mariav1011]

Same shit happened to mine as well I even put a new switch and it still doesn’t work now I’m wondering if it’s the sockets

[Mariav1011]

Ha ha! I had the same problem. But mine stopped working when I had a lightbulb that blue I try to take it out and the stupid light bulb broke and made a Spark so I think it caused a problem during that time at any rate I replace the switch and it still doesn’t work so my dad the electrician is going to come over tomorrow and see if he can figure out what the hell is wrong with it

You have to use the exact bulb as a replacement. I think a halogen bulb is required. Use a meter to check the voltage I trie LED bulbs and those did not work. I found the right bulb on EBay

Thank you so much for sharing your words of wisdom Randy, i.e. "The only other problem that might have happened would be the little brass tab inside the screwshell could be pressed down to far and not making contact with the lamp" ...... yes indeed, this was the problem and following my delicate procedure, I now enjoy a controlled luminescence from my range hood !! Thank you so much again ...... best regards .....John (Victoria BC)

Wow, too funny! When I renovated my kitchen about 13 years ago I installed the Broan -Allure and have been very happy with it, but about 8 yrs in, I too had bulb issues and changed the bulb only to have issues w/ it. What I realized was that there was nothing wrong w/ the wiring but the bulb was not making contact w/ the contact inside the socket. The remedy was to try and pull the contact down but I decided against that out of fear of breaking off. What I did was to drop a dab of soldier on the tip of the bulb....work every time. I have run into this problem w/ all new bulbs (3x). Don't know why but like I said, look at the base of the bulb...they're flat or recessed, bulbs use to have a pucker/ pimple at the bottom. Go figure! Sorry it took me 15yrs to find your post. Good luck. Mk.

02/03/2022 Still works today Eric. Pulled up on the brass connector and it worked!

We had the same issue, it was a poor connection to the brass tab in the base . Thanks for the tip !!!

I have similar issue on Broan Allure range hood lights. Tried Eric's way to pull the connector down a little bit, it works like a charm!!! Thanks Eric.

MK: I had similar concern of breaking the connector while pulling it down, your solder way is much safer, great work around!!!
