Recessed Can Light Problem - help needed

[diydanny]

I have a recessed can light (Halo H7ICT) that recently stopped working. I checked the breaker, tried a new bulb, and ended up replacing the socket with a new one but none of that worked. I have another light that is on the same circuit I think, same fuse, that is working just fine. I'm wondering what the next step might be? Thermal protector? Should I replace the whole housing? Was really hoping to fix this one.

Thank you in advance for your wisdom!

If you've tried all of those things and the light still isn't working, it could be the thermal protector. You could try replacing the whole housing, but it might be easier (and less expensive) to just get a new recessed light.
