Whirlpool-Kenmore-Maytag Refrigerator LED Light Kit: amzn.to/3Lik0v9
Here's a problem I just ran into with my Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator. The lights inside are really dim. You probably can't tell in the video but they're much dimmer than usual. And as you know, the LED lighting in here should be very bright. So immediately I knew there was a problem. The other thing I noticed is that the light in the freezer section isn't working at all. But I do have the fix for this and the best part is that after I explain the process, you'll be able to easily fix it yourself.
This tutorial will also apply to some Amana, Maytag, KitchenAid and JennAir refrigerators. So before starting lets unplug the fridge. To fix the problem, the LED located in the freezer needs to be replaced. It's mounted in the back just under the ice maker. Taking a closer look, you'll have to release tabs in these two slots. And the best way to get this out is to insert a screwdriver pointing to the back of the fridge. Then use some moderate pressure to pry it down. It might take a few tries but just remember to push the tab in a bit. When it's released you can pull the entire assembly out. Next disconnect the wire connector by pressing a small tab on the side and then lifting it up.
This light consists of a cover and a circuit board. The circuit board needs to be released the light from the cover at 2 tabs. I got the replacement part from Amazon and I'll list it in the description so it's easy for you to find. It comes in a 3 pack and includes the complete light kit for this Whirlpool fridge. It comes with 2 different kinds of light boards and I chose this because I wanted all the parts on hand if needed. The light in the freezer section is known by part number W10515057. And all I have to do is snap it back into the light cover. And you can't get this wrong because there's only one way to insert this thanks to the notch on the bottom left. Next reattach the wiring. In total, my parts only cost $26. Now just snap the light assembly back in place. Now when I check the freezer section the light now comes on.
With the LED in the freezer section replaced the lighting is nice and bright in both compartments. But to make this a complete tutorial, I will show you one more light replacement. That's because problems can also arise from the light located at the top of the refrigerator section. There are also 2 tabs holding it in. This one is a bit more tricky to get out. But where you see the tabs, insert a small flathead screwdriver straight up into the opening. Then gently pry one side down at a time. And that's because the screwdriver can cause some minor damage to the plastic around it. Once loosened, use both hands to pull the light down.
On this one, there are 2 light connectors that need to be detached. This is part number: W10515058 and it's different from the first one I replaced. But just reverse the process to install the new light board. Please note that if the LEDs inside the fridge are blinking or flashing, you'll need to determine which LED is causing the problem and it could be this one. That's why I bought the complete kit. But once the wires for this one have been reattached, just snap the whole thing in place. With these replacement parts, the lighting is looking like new again.
Keep in mind that you may have to replace more than one LED to fix lighting problems on this fridge. If this video was helpful please give me a thumbs up and hit the subscribe button to stay up to date on all my DIY repair videos.

I went 2 years without lights. I had a repair service give me a quote for $445. I only paid less than $900 for the fridge, Until I found this video--ordered the parts from Amazon for $37 and I'm so proud of myself I fixed it. Thank you for this video...
Outstanding. Good pacing and clear narration and pics! I was stuck trying to get the light out because upper light fridge clips are nearly invisible on my fridge.Thanks!!
Thank you very much for teaching me how to change the light on my refrigerator.👍🏼
You’re welcome! I’m glad my refrigerator light replacement tutorial was helpful!
Wanted to say thank you for your tutorial. Had the exact same problem with my Whirlpool refrigerator. Got the parts from Amazon, and using your steps fixed it! The only notes are, the freezer has to thaw just a few minutes or you take a chance breaking the plastic, and as I have a smaller fridge, my arms didn't fit all the way in. Other than that worked fine. Thank you!!!
Excellent! I’m really glad you were able to get the parts and fix the lighting in your fridge! That’s a good tip on letting the freezer thaw out. Mine was empty and was already set to a warmer temperature so I was able to work on it right away. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for posting! SO helpful
Your welcome! Glad my fridge light replacement video helped!
Great video. One thing I would suggest is to consider briefly testing out replacement light assemblies before snapping back into their respective spots. Just in case. Many times i have reassembled things only to have them still not function properly.
This post puts you at or above his level. Nice. :)
Very well said and very clean, very helpful! By the way, my refrigerator is Whirlpool, WRS322FDAM. two lights are off. Where can I buy replacing lights? Thank you very much!

Excellent video! Exactly what I needed to see and exactly the part that I need for my Whirlpool 22 ft³. It's exactly the same.. thank you so much!
Thank you so much. Going to try fixing the fridge lights
You’re welcome! This is a repair you can definitely do yourself. You’ll save a lot of money and you’ll only pay for the cost of the parts.
@@digitalcamproducer I was able to find the parts on Amazon. Should be arriving sometime next week. I'll let you know how it goes!
@@digitalcamproducer The light replacement was a success! Thank you again. :)
These have gone out three times for me in the freezer in my whirlpool. Doing it again now for the refrigerator portion. Thought LEDs would last longer. Appliances aren't what they used to be.
LED lights are cheaper and easier to manufacture and can be made to last longer. Blame the greed of the corporations and capitalism.
That's the exact model that I have. I just ordered the lights on Amazon today, about $46 for one refrigerator LED and two freezer LEDs. I ordered the whole lens assembly but I should have just ordered the boards.
It doesn’t matter that you ordered the lenses with the LEDs. The price difference probably isn’t that much. But now you’ll have extra lenses lying around.
@@digitalcamproducer I didn't have any problems with installing the refrigerator lights, they went in fairly simple. But, I was discouraged when they didn't light up. But the freezer lights were another story. I had to get both shoulders inside the freezer compartment, along with a flashlight to see what I was doing to insert the plug back into the jack. When I finally got it done, I realized that the lights wasn't oriented correctly, that was my main problem. It sure is a good feeling when the LEDs turn on.
Thanks for the help !

Thanks for the tutorial. Should have capped it off by grabbing a beer!
Thank you very much for your I'll give it a shot
Thanks for the video.
Excellent!
I just replaced the freezer light for the second time in 7 years. The quality of Whirlpool is terrible. I long for the old days when you could just screw in a 15W appliance bulb for $2

$26 to change 3 lights.

The worst thing about Whirlpool fridge bulbs is that they start blinking before they go out and that causes me severe pain and can cause a seizure.
Awesome! Thanks
