Possible Solutions

Is the light bulb loose in the socket?

Check to see if the light bulb is loose; tighten if needed.

Has the light bulb burned out?

If the bulb needs to be replaced, replace it with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape, and wattage (no greater than 40 watts). Not all appliance bulbs will fit your freezer. For instructions on changing the Light Bulb for your specific model, see your Owner's Manual.

If you would like to download or view product literature for your appliance, please visit our Manuals and Literature page.

Is the power supply connected correctly?

Ensure the power cord is plugged into a three-prong outlet—a 115 Volt, 60 Hz. AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required.

It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator is provided.
Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch.
Do not use an extension cord.
Check the outlet. If you are unaware if it's working, plug in a household lamp or other small appliance to verify that the outlet is working.

Has the circuit breaker or household fuse blown or popped?

Check if a household circuit breaker or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) outlet has tripped. If so, reset the circuit breaker or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt.
If the refrigerator is on a fuse box, check to see if a fuse has blown and replace it, if necessary. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Check to see if a household circuit breaker or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) outlet has tripped. If so, reset the circuit breaker or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt.
