I watched your video. We have the exact same refrigerator. You have just saved us a fortune. We ordered the part from Amazon and it came today. It took a little time, but my son got the part hooked up, the light came on, and the top lights came on. Thank you so much!
My mom’s lights did this exact thing! Thanks to your video, I fixed it for less than $10! Her neighbor, who is supposed to be a handyman, wanted to change something that was over $800! I’m glad I told her not to do that before I tried to fix it! Thank you so much!
Good video on this POS refrigerator. Bought this same fridge 4 years ago and the freezer light has gone out 4 times. (Update: I have now owned this refrigerator for another year and have replaced the freezer LED a total of 7 times now.) I've ordered 2 LED panels from Amazon since they go out so often. About $14.00 each. House call to repair would have cost me about $120 per visit. I thought the whole idea of using LED's was reliability. 20,000 hours or so. I had a 18 year old GE with a plane ole appliance light bulb in the freezer Never had to replace it. Who's bright idea was it to wire these in series with the top refrigeration section?
Found this video searching for LED light problems with Whirlpool fridges. I have a very similar model, and this is literally the exact same problem I'm currently having, even down to the top lights still dimly glowing. I'll have to give this a try, thanks!
I’m glad the video was helpful. Would it be possible to like the video and subscribe to my channel? I’ll appreciate any support you can provide. Thank you
Great job on the video. The manufacturers need to link and promote these types of repair tips. It would help consumers and also mitigate the volume of negative product reviews from frustrated but very justified complainers.
Thank you for taking the time to help your fellow man and saving me cash that both of us really shouldn’t have to spend but have to because the manufacturers skimp on quality. Great video!
My whirlpool bought 5 years ago is doing very similar. First the freezer light went out. Then a few days later the top lights went dim. Side lights still work normal. Must be something about the freezer killing led lights. I will give this a try. Thanks for your video.
This worked for me. Same situation. Kitchenaid fridge. The lights at the top and in the freezer went out. I replaced the lower freezer light only and everything worked again. Thanks! You do not need to remove the front door or anything. You can replace the led by pulling the top shelf in the freezer forward to give you enough room to access it. (I'm not an expert though, I'm not liable for any issues!)
bro, thanks for the video, it was exactly what I needed, ordered the part from Amazon, put it in and everylight came back on. probably saved me 5 hundred bucks for a tech v isit.. thanks again man.
My friend you just saved us $375. 😊 Question you wouldn't happen to have American Home Sheild for your warranty? If so we have the that one also. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'll be doing the same thing as you have done. 👍💯
Mine has the same problem, is a kitchenaid and very similar. Not sure yet if this will work for me, but I expect that it will. Thanks for posting this!
This was a huge help. I got the Whirlpool people to fix it once when they claimed the same thing your did... it's been about 18 months since that fix, and the freezer one went out again. I know the top ones will stop soon as it did last time staggered. I swapped a top one with the bottom one. The bottom came on, and all but the broken one on top came on for a bit, then they all went out (except for the sides). I ordered a new one labeled as an upgrade off Amazon to change out the freezer one. Should have it fixed. Thanks again for the heads up on this.
You’re smart! Sounds like car dealerships. I’ve got a GE that’s 2019 the freezer LED went out about a month ago and I miss it! Plus I pay it off in just days. I knew my lights weren’t covered. I live alone my brother used to fix all my stuff and he passed in 2018. This is the first video I’ve seen on any LED replacement. A nice local repair guy FaceTimed me and walked thru part of it. The cover on mine is large plastic and held on by a single Phillips head at very top. It was east to remove. This GE takes a part so small it’s 1/2” by 4” and the plug with red wire looks just like yours. It then snaps on to a plastic bar. The part I ordered from ShopJimmy for $13 + 4 s&h my local appliance parts wanted $70! I’m going to try to do a video. Thanks for posting, wish me luck!

Whoohoo - happy to have replaced the board in top light in fridge. Didn’t need the housing - board didnt come with the screwdriver. Bought a set of T star screwdrivers. Needed a T8 size. Spent $28 total online instead of Whirlpool parts online wanted $150 for the light/housing.
Thank You so much!!!! I did exactly what you explained. Had the same problem with my Whirlpool, Ordered the part installed it now I have lights again 😊
@@neverneatgarage sure, did you use an allen wrench to unscrew the led light off the casing? it doesn't appear that an allen wrench works on those screws.
Thank you. I have the same exact issue. My top lights have the little dot of light that you talk about and my freezer light is out. Hopefully this will work for me as well.
One thing I observed was that even though all the lights were out that if you look closely you will see a very faint glow of light in the middle of the LEDs except for the one that is bad. I recommend you do this in the dark and see which light has no light at all and that should be the bad one. Good luck, keep me posted.
I am glad to know what is wrong with our lights, Now I have to figure how to get the slide out trays and the doors off to get to the freezer light and dig out. any ideas? thanks
To remove the freezer light I didn’t have to remove the sliding trays, so familiar with the removal but did a quick look and it doesn’t seem easy. Why do you need to remove the tray?
Thanks for sharing. I have this model (WRF757SDHZ) similar to yours. My lights are out right now except the 4 lights on the side just like yours. However, I have been having a couple of other issues where the warranty company keeps sending people out to fix the fridge and they can't really find out the real cause. They just keep replacing parts which solves nothing. There is moisture build up on top of the gasket of the freezer door. They replaced the gasket of the top doors, the heater mullen twice, the freezer door, a board on the back of the fridge. Once came out yesterday to tell me he does not see anything wrong with the fridge that needs to be fixed and that he thinks the lights are out because the freezer door does not close properly and the lights stay on all the time. Does anyone experience this issue? They fixed the ice maker earlier tjis year. Now it's not working again. Any idea is well appreciated. Those so-called techs are doing the guessing work here. This is very frustrating. Thanks all!
Great Video ! Having the same issue. Just ordered the replacement part. Is it difficult to get the part out of the the freezer? I will do the job once I received the replacement Thanks for your help and again great video

@@neverneatgarage thank you for the link. I was having a tough time trying to figure out which one was the one I needed. BTW, if I could have " liked " this video 10 times I would have 😁
Mine was done under warranty. Your guy was wrong. Now I have a single light but I suspect it’s the actual bulb, not the fixture. Ordered one on Amazon for $15. Pretty sure it will be ok.
Thanks for letting me know because folks always ask me about other brands. If I get someone asking about a GE I have some info for them. Thanks again. BTW, would it be possible to like my video and subscribe to my channel. Take care.
My refrigerator is a Kitchenaid but the layout is pretty much the same, especially the LED light arrangement. Interestingly on mine it’s also the freezer light that went out. A few months ago one morning I noticed that the top lights became dimmer, though still on. I was quite puzzled but didn’t try anything. Finally last week the freezer light went out completely. The top lights are still in the same dim state though. With your video now I understand that these are on the same circuit. I tried to remove the freezer light so I could look at it and get the correct part number. Question: does your freezer light have some sticky plastic film inside the hole? Mine does and it seems to be sealing the plastic connector inside so I couldn’t pull it out. Assuming yours is the same, did you just rip that plastic film out of there? During my messing with the light, surprisingly it came back on. And sure enough the top lights started acting normal. I was ecstatic and went to tell the wife the good news, only to find out that it went out again. I think the light is still good but the connector isn’t seated right. I’m hoping to pull it out of there completely so I can connect it right.
As you said, it could be the connection. Maybe once you take it all the way out and reconnect it it will stay on. What I recall when I pulled mine out was the foam insulation. The foam was on the back side of the light but other folks have commented the foam was all over the light and it was a pain to pull the light our. I wonder if the foam got into the connector. Also, I would greatly appreciate it if you like the video and subscribe to my channel. Thank you.
@@williamvargas9721 Another question. My freezer has two shallow drawers at the top, each one being about 2” deep. The upper drawer being there doesn’t allow me much room to work but I couldn’t figure out how to remove it. Is yours the same way? Thanks.
Yes, use something like a wide flat head screwdriver or a narrow paint scrapper. If you could like the video and subscribe to my channel I’d be very grateful! Merry Christmas!
I agree. We replaced our old Whirlpool appliances that were 15 years old with all new whirlpool appliances and the quality has dropped significantly. Do you think you can like the video and subscribe to my channel?
@@neverneatgarage - thanks I’ve been working on it and do believe I figured out the pantry panel UI is the issue. Issue now is actually finding a replacement.
@@SteveWade-j3w if it’s the same issue I encountered in the video then the bad LED is the one in the freezer. Replace that one and lights in the refrigerator will come back on, like a set of Christmas tree lights.
It’s a bit awkward since it’s so low and a bit deep in the freezer. But you can use a flat head screw driver, putty knife or plastic trim tool that car guys use to remove door panels from cars. Once you have a bit of a gap you can grab it with your finger tips. The old light my have some of that spray form installation stuck to it. Hope that helps.
Was your lights blinking at all? Mine are doing the same thing, but my top lights on the left are working, and all the rest of them are blinking. The one in the freezer is completely out thought!!!
I didn’t experience blinking. In my case, all the top lights were out but with the center of LED lights having a faint glow. When you remove the LED light in the freezer the faint glow will disappear. Maybe your blinking is another indication (like my faint glow) that the freezer light is bad.
I have the same problem with my Kitchen Aid side by side refrigerator. The light in question is doing the same exact thing with no lights whatsoever and the others with a tiny blink of light. What's the best way to find out my exact part number for my frig. Thanks
I removed the light and it had the part number stenciled on it. If it’s not on the light the back of the light look for the sticker inside the fridge and get the model number. Sometimes there is more than one sticker inside the frig so make sure you are looking at the right one. Once you have the make and model just Google “LED light for Kitchen Aid model…” and something should come up. After reviewing this list of vendors and you still have doubts just call one of the vendors they are usually very helpful. Good luck. Please remember to like and subscribe. Thank you, Wil
Once you remove all the items from drawer you can pry it out by using a plastic trim tool (see link) or a flat head screwdriver with some tape at the end so not to damage the frig. Also if you could like the video and subscribe to my channel it would be greatly appreciated. www.amazon.com/XBRN-Removal-Window-Fastener-Remover/dp/B07R44VJHN/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=VH34FMHXGQWB&keywords=trim+tools+auto+removal+kit&qid=1659028406&sprefix=trim+tool%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-3
There's two circuits of lights both in series, which means if one light goes out all lights go out on that circuit. The top lights and freezer are on one circuit and side lights are on another. It's absolutely bull$hit they tried scam you out of money. Any repair man would know this!!
It’s not hard to do just in an inconvenient location but once you remove all the items from drawer you can pry it out by using a plastic trim tool (see link) or a flat head screwdriver or butter knife with some tape at the end so not to damage the frig.

Our fridge just did this too. Now I’m going to check and see if it is the freezer light. Same fridge. Must be a problem with them. Do you have American Home Shield home warranty? Just curious because that’s who we have
Yes, I have a American Home Shield and when they sent their technician they said it was the light board then American home shield informed me that they would not cover the light board and it would cost me $400 to repair. So that’s when I decided to troubleshoot the issue myself and figured out that the lights are configured just like Christmas tree lights; when one goes out, they all go out and that’s when I noticed the freezer LED light was out. Bought the replacement LED light for $14 and fixed it myself. Someone on the channel told me someone was charging them even more to fix it, but they followed my video and saved the money. Also, if you can like the video and subscribe to my channel, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you! How do you get the drawers out? Do we have to take the big door off and then take out both of the others? I have been trying to find a video with a fridge like this explaining the drawers.
I have a Kitchen Aid and it is doing the exact same thing, all lights out but one completely out with no dim light and the others have a dim light. How do you get the light out. I tried sticking a flat head to try to pop it out but it did not want to come out. I do not want to break it, yikes. Any thoughts would be great! Thanks Julie
I don’t know what model you have but based on this video you need to use a putty knife and then a screwdriver. ruclips.net/video/torS7nlYcp4/видео.html
@@neverneatgarage Exact same fridge exact same issue unfortunately my wires are completely covered in spray foam I can’t even get to the connector. I’ve tried digging it out with a plastic tool but I think the whole wires for the spray foam all the way back. I think my only recourse is to strip splice the wires to the new light such a poor design. Any ideas
@@tommetivier that sucks. I had foam issue but was able to reach the connector. Have you tried to lightly pull on the wire so see if you can get a bit more slack? Yeah, worst case is to cut the wires as close as you can to the LED light then cutoff the connector on the new light and splice them together as you mentioned.
My connector in the freezer was buried in the sprayed on foam, light connector pulled out of the little socket but the mating half is still buried in the foam and I'm going to have to pull the door and drawer off to get upside down to dig out the foam to find the buried connector. GRRRR!
Bob we had the same issue, but now can't get the piece off the back of the original light. The replacement I ordered didn't come with a tool or anything. My husband is very upset at me about having to pry the thing out of the freezer. We ended up taking the drawers out and the door odd the front.
I have a frigidaire side by side and the lites for frig and freezer have now gone out. oth units are colling just fine - but no lighting. The bad news is - I can't find the burnt out lights! What the heck? Any ideas for a Frigidaire? side by side? approx 5 year old model.
Sorry, I don’t. Like I mentioned in video I noticed that of the 6 lights, 5 had a small glimmer of light still visible and one didn’t and that had no glimmer of light was the bad one. I don’t know if this applies to all LED refrigerators but that’s how figured it out. I’m wondering if in your case it’s actually the LED control panel that is bad. In that case you may have to call in a tech to see if that is the case. I wish I could have been more help but if you do figure it out let me know. Take care and good luck.
I have a KitchenAid KRFF507HPS with the same issue. I have had factory service out on 4 separate occasions to replace the LED module under warranty. They continue to use the same part number as the factory has not updated sourced another manufacturer for the LED module. I have owned the refrigerator since Sept 2019. Have you had any subsequent failures?

From what I can tell they work like separate string of Christmas lights; when when light goes bad they all go out until you replace the burned out light. I’m glad it was helpful. Do you think you can like the video and subscribe to my channel?
You can use a putty knife and a flat head screwdriver or any flat tool that you can wedge underneath the light casing. It’s not hard in itself what makes it difficult is the location plus the drawer isn’t easily removable.
Good old Hunt and Peck method, What a great way to waist your money and possibly damaging other components. I love it I constantly have customers destroying their Appliances but they won't spend 75.00 for a service call. But they will destroy a 2000.00 Refrigerator. Ignorance at it's greatest.

The part was only $14. The tech wanted to charge me $375 to change the LED board when in reality it was just one LED light. Here is the link to the one I bought. Also would appreciate if you like the video and subscribe to my channel. Thanks

@@neverneatgarage thank you for the link. I was having a tough time trying to figure out which one was the one I needed. BTW, if I could have " liked " this video 10 times I would have 😁
Mine was done under warranty. Your guy was wrong. Now I have a single light but I suspect it’s the actual bulb, not the fixture. Ordered one on Amazon for $15. Pretty sure it will be ok.
Just DIY'd my brand new GE fridge with nonfunctional LED light- turns out it was a defective door switch. Quality control issue.
Thanks for letting me know because folks always ask me about other brands. If I get someone asking about a GE I have some info for them. Thanks again. BTW, would it be possible to like my video and subscribe to my channel. Take care.
My refrigerator is a Kitchenaid but the layout is pretty much the same, especially the LED light arrangement. Interestingly on mine it’s also the freezer light that went out.
A few months ago one morning I noticed that the top lights became dimmer, though still on. I was quite puzzled but didn’t try anything. Finally last week the freezer light went out completely. The top lights are still in the same dim state though.
With your video now I understand that these are on the same circuit. I tried to remove the freezer light so I could look at it and get the correct part number.
Question: does your freezer light have some sticky plastic film inside the hole? Mine does and it seems to be sealing the plastic connector inside so I couldn’t pull it out. Assuming yours is the same, did you just rip that plastic film out of there?
During my messing with the light, surprisingly it came back on. And sure enough the top lights started acting normal. I was ecstatic and went to tell the wife the good news, only to find out that it went out again.
I think the light is still good but the connector isn’t seated right. I’m hoping to pull it out of there completely so I can connect it right.
As you said, it could be the connection. Maybe once you take it all the way out and reconnect it it will stay on. What I recall when I pulled mine out was the foam insulation. The foam was on the back side of the light but other folks have commented the foam was all over the light and it was a pain to pull the light our. I wonder if the foam got into the connector. Also, I would greatly appreciate it if you like the video and subscribe to my channel. Thank you.
@@williamvargas9721 Just did. Appreciate your sharing.
@@williamvargas9721 Another question. My freezer has two shallow drawers at the top, each one being about 2” deep. The upper drawer being there doesn’t allow me much room to work but I couldn’t figure out how to remove it. Is yours the same way? Thanks.
I have the exact Whirlpool with the EXACT problem. Are those LED’s just pop-out and pop-in?
Yes, use something like a wide flat head screwdriver or a narrow paint scrapper. If you could like the video and subscribe to my channel I’d be very grateful! Merry Christmas!
The LED probably overheated. LEDs need proper heat sinking! Why can’t we just go back to E26 sockets, so we’ll be able to install our own bulbs?
Looks like with all the people having this problem Whirpool would have to fix this crap! We need a class action lawsuit guys!!!
I agree. We replaced our old Whirlpool appliances that were 15 years old with all new whirlpool appliances and the quality has dropped significantly. Do you think you can like the video and subscribe to my channel?
Thanks for the help! I fixed it in less than 10 minutes.

My issue is that all the lights are completely out and the water and ice dispenser no longer work.
I’m no expert but it sounds like a control board might be bad. You’ll need to reach out to a repairman.
@@neverneatgarage - thanks I’ve been working on it and do believe I figured out the pantry panel UI is the issue. Issue now is actually finding a replacement.
Keep me posted. If you can like the video and subscribe to my channel it would be greatly appreciated. Take care.

I have the same frig that you have. My top led lights are not working and the bottom freezer lights aren't working. What do I need to do?
@@SteveWade-j3w if it’s the same issue I encountered in the video then the bad LED is the one in the freezer. Replace that one and lights in the refrigerator will come back on, like a set of Christmas tree lights.
I have the same fridge with the same issue. I have the part, but how did you get the light out of the freezer? I am afraid I will break it.
It’s a bit awkward since it’s so low and a bit deep in the freezer. But you can use a flat head screw driver, putty knife or plastic trim tool that car guys use to remove door panels from cars. Once you have a bit of a gap you can grab it with your finger tips. The old light my have some of that spray form installation stuck to it. Hope that helps.
@@neverneatgarage thank you for your reply. I will give it a go!
Thank you so much.

which way did you plug in the light and how did you remove? mine has yellow foam surrounding the light
Was your lights blinking at all? Mine are doing the same thing, but my top lights on the left are working, and all the rest of them are blinking. The one in the freezer is completely out thought!!!
I didn’t experience blinking. In my case, all the top lights were out but with the center of LED lights having a faint glow. When you remove the LED light in the freezer the faint glow will disappear. Maybe your blinking is another indication (like my faint glow) that the freezer light is bad.
I have the same problem with my Kitchen Aid side by side refrigerator. The light in question is doing the same exact thing with no lights whatsoever and the others with a tiny blink of light. What's the best way to find out my exact part number for my frig. Thanks
I removed the light and it had the part number stenciled on it. If it’s not on the light the back of the light look for the sticker inside the fridge and get the model number. Sometimes there is more than one sticker inside the frig so make sure you are looking at the right one. Once you have the make and model just Google “LED light for Kitchen Aid model…” and something should come up. After reviewing this list of vendors and you still have doubts just call one of the vendors they are usually very helpful. Good luck. Please remember to like and subscribe. Thank you, Wil
@@neverneatgarage Thank you
Same problem. Can you list the part # and where you ordered? Thanks

How do you pull out the LED light housing
Once you remove all the items from drawer you can pry it out by using a plastic trim tool (see link) or a flat head screwdriver with some tape at the end so not to damage the frig. Also if you could like the video and subscribe to my channel it would be greatly appreciated.

There's two circuits of lights both in series, which means if one light goes out all lights go out on that circuit. The top lights and freezer are on one circuit and side lights are on another. It's absolutely bull$hit they tried scam you out of money. Any repair man would know this!!
Nice info! Where do look for the replacement light
Thank you!
No problem. Glad it helped. Do you think you can subscribe to my channel?
Same problem here. Would have been nice to actually show you removing and replacing the part though.
It’s not hard to do just in an inconvenient location but once you remove all the items from drawer you can pry it out by using a plastic trim tool (see link) or a flat head screwdriver or butter knife with some tape at the end so not to damage the frig. Also, if you could like the video and subscribe to my channel it would be greatly appreciated.

What and where is this part found? Amazon?
Freezer light went out any suggestion on where they can be
Our fridge just did this too. Now I’m going to check and see if it is the freezer light. Same fridge. Must be a problem with them. Do you have American Home Shield home warranty? Just curious because that’s who we have
Yes, I have a American Home Shield and when they sent their technician they said it was the light board then American home shield informed me that they would not cover the light board and it would cost me $400 to repair. So that’s when I decided to troubleshoot the issue myself and figured out that the lights are configured just like Christmas tree lights; when one goes out, they all go out and that’s when I noticed the freezer LED light was out. Bought the replacement LED light for $14 and fixed it myself. Someone on the channel told me someone was charging them even more to fix it, but they followed my video and saved the money. Also, if you can like the video and subscribe to my channel, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you! How do you get the drawers out? Do we have to take the big door off and then take out both of the others? I have been trying to find a video with a fridge like this explaining the drawers.
@@mandyflaniken1900 I didn’t have to take the drawers out to get to light. It wasn’t that hard to get to light with drawers in place.
@@williamvargas9721 really? It seems kind of difficult to get your hand in there. He can try it I guess lol
I have a Kitchen Aid and it is doing the exact same thing, all lights out but one completely out with no dim light and the others have a dim light. How do you get the light out. I tried sticking a flat head to try to pop it out but it did not want to come out. I do not want to break it, yikes. Any thoughts would be great! Thanks Julie
I don’t know what model you have but based on this video you need to use a putty knife and then a screwdriver.

@@neverneatgarage Exact same fridge exact same issue unfortunately my wires are completely covered in spray foam I can’t even get to the connector. I’ve tried digging it out with a plastic tool but I think the whole wires for the spray foam all the way back. I think my only recourse is to strip splice the wires to the new light such a poor design. Any ideas
@@tommetivier that sucks. I had foam issue but was able to reach the connector. Have you tried to lightly pull on the wire so see if you can get a bit more slack? Yeah, worst case is to cut the wires as close as you can to the LED light then cutoff the connector on the new light and splice them together as you mentioned.
My connector in the freezer was buried in the sprayed on foam, light connector pulled out of the little socket but the mating half is still buried in the foam and I'm going to have to pull the door and drawer off to get upside down to dig out the foam to find the buried connector. GRRRR!
Sorry to hear about the foam but I’m glad it was helpful. Do you think you can like the video and subscribe to my channel?
Bob we had the same issue, but now can't get the piece off the back of the original light. The replacement I ordered didn't come with a tool or anything. My husband is very upset at me about having to pry the thing out of the freezer. We ended up taking the drawers out and the door odd the front.
We have the same problem
Were you able to replace the light?

I have a frigidaire side by side and the lites for frig and freezer have now gone out. oth units are colling just fine - but no lighting. The bad news is - I can't find the burnt out lights! What the heck? Any ideas for a Frigidaire? side by side? approx 5 year old model.
Sorry, I don’t. Like I mentioned in video I noticed that of the 6 lights, 5 had a small glimmer of light still visible and one didn’t and that had no glimmer of light was the bad one. I don’t know if this applies to all LED refrigerators but that’s how figured it out. I’m wondering if in your case it’s actually the LED control panel that is bad. In that case you may have to call in a tech to see if that is the case. I wish I could have been more help but if you do figure it out let me know. Take care and good luck.
I have a KitchenAid KRFF507HPS with the same issue. I have had factory service out on 4 separate occasions to replace the LED module under warranty. They continue to use the same part number as the factory has not updated sourced another manufacturer for the LED module. I have owned the refrigerator since Sept 2019. Have you had any subsequent failures?
Sorry to here about your on going issue, I’ve not had any further issue with my light since I made the video.
Can you provide the link to the exact part you had purchased? Thanks
Hello. Here is the link to the part. If you could do me a favor and LIKE the video and SUBSCRIBE to my channel I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Same fridge. Ordered from Amazon today and waaaaa-laaaaa Thank you so much!!!!!
Private Message me your address my hubby and I would like to send you a gift card
I’m so glad I could help. Thank you for the kind gesture but you don’t need to send me anything . Please like and subscribe to my channel. Again, Thank you.
You need to report this people.
So they are not 2 separate bulbs?
From what I can tell they work like separate string of Christmas lights; when when light goes bad they all go out until you replace the burned out light. I’m glad it was helpful. Do you think you can like the video and subscribe to my channel?
How do you remove the freezer light component without losing you religion?
You can use a putty knife and a flat head screwdriver or any flat tool that you can wedge underneath the light casing. It’s not hard in itself what makes it difficult is the location plus the drawer isn’t easily removable.
@@williamvargas9721
Thanks so much!
so long so much talk yet no demo how to get it out or put it in ..
I was thinkin' the same thing....just ..here it is ....had to read 30 comments to get a clue on how to remove.
Anyone have the part number?

Good old Hunt and Peck method, What a great way to waist your money and possibly damaging other components. I love it I constantly have customers destroying their Appliances but they won't spend 75.00 for a service call. But they will destroy a 2000.00 Refrigerator. Ignorance at it's greatest.
Come on stop talking put it in see if it works
