Inglis Refrigerator light not working
If your Inglis refrigerator light is not working, approach it step by step. The light assembly is listed first because a failed assembly or a manufacturer that only sells the complete assembly means you may need the whole unit. Next, swap the bulb — a burned-out lamp is an easy, inexpensive fix and should be checked before replacing other parts. A defective dispenser control board is less likely but can stop a dispenser or interior light from coming on, so inspect the board for burned components and use a multimeter to check for voltage at the light connector. After that, test the light switch, the door switch and the light socket, since loss of continuity or missing power at the socket are common reasons for a fridge light not working or the refrigerator light to be out. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your refrigerator, from bulbs and sockets to switches and full light assemblies, with clear instructions to guide the repair.

03 - Inglis 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.
