Cause Of Light Assembly
Sometimes the light assembly is defective. Sometimes some product designers aren’t selling separate components for that part, and instead, require you to buy a light assembly when other parts are broken.

Test the socket by turning off the circuit breaker supplying power to it. Use a screwdriver or your fingers to remove the socket from the wall plate.
Using your multimeter, check if there is power going to it (black probe into the empty hole in the middle on the back; red probe into any of the other holes) and if there is no power going through, then you should replace it because it is malfunctioning for some reason.
If there IS power flowing through, check with a spare bulb in case that was what wasn’t functioning before.
Error In The Light Bulb
