Amana Refrigerator light not working
If your Amana refrigerator light not working, start simple and work outward: most often a faulty light switch, door switch, or a bad light socket is to blame, so test the switches and socket for continuity with a multimeter and replace any that fail. If those check out, replace the bulb next — many fridge lights are just burned out and swapping the bulb fixes it. Less commonly the entire light assembly may need replacement if the housing or wiring is damaged, and only rarely is the dispenser control board at fault for a dispenser light not working; if you see burn marks or no voltage at the connector, the board may be the problem. First-timers can tackle the bulb and switch checks with basic tools; confident DIYers will find sockets and switch kits for specific models. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement part for your refrigerator and order the right light bulb, socket, switch, assembly, or control board for the repair.

03 - Amana Refrigerator Dispenser Control Board
While it's not a likely cause, a defective dispenser control board could be responsible for a dispenser light not working. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to determine if the board is sending voltage to the dispenser light's plug-in connecter. If no voltage is present, you'll know the board is defective and will need to be replaced.
