Frigidaire Refrigerator light not working

If your Frigidaire refrigerator light is not working, start with the simplest fix: replace the light bulb. A burned out bulb is the most common cause, and the page even recommends swapping the bulb before replacing other parts. If a new bulb still won’t light, check whether the socket is getting power; if the socket is powered but the bulb stays dark, replace the light socket. Next test the light switch and the door switch with a multimeter for continuity; faulty switches often cause the fridge light not to come on when the door opens. Some models use a sealed light assembly that may require replacing the whole assembly if the internal wiring or housing is bad. It is unlikely but possible that a dispenser control board issue could affect a dispenser light, so inspect the board for burn marks or use a meter to verify voltage to the plug. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part that fits your refrigerator.

03 - Frigidaire 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.
