Electrolux Refrigerator light not working

If your Electrolux refrigerator light not working, the most common culprits are a faulty light assembly or a burned out bulb, but a few other parts can cause the fridge light not working too. Start by checking the light assembly since some models require replacing the entire assembly rather than individual components. If the assembly looks intact, swap the bulb next—replace the bulb before you replace other parts. It is less likely, but a defective dispenser control board can also stop a dispenser light, so inspect the board for burned spots and use a multimeter to check for voltage at the connector. Also test the refrigerator light switch and door switch for continuity, and verify the light socket is getting power; if the socket has power but the bulb stays dark, replace the socket. If you need the right replacement part, enter your model number at RepairClinic.com to find the exact refrigerator light assembly, bulb, switch, socket, or control board that fits your fridge.

03 - Electrolux 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.

Highly Likely

06 - Electrolux Refrigerator Light Socket
