Dacor Refrigerator light not working
If your Dacor refrigerator light is not working, start with the parts that most often fail: the light switch, the door switch, and the light socket. Use a multimeter to check each switch for continuity and the socket for incoming voltage; if the socket has power but the bulb does not light, swap the socket or switch first. Next, replace the bulb before moving on to larger parts. If a new bulb and functional switches and socket do not restore the fridge light, the light assembly itself may be defective — some manufacturers require replacing the whole assembly rather than individual components. It is unlikely but possible that a dispenser control board or wiring fault is preventing power from reaching the lamp, so inspect the board for burn marks and test for voltage if you suspect an electrical issue. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to locate the exact replacement part for your refrigerator and get step by step parts and repair guidance.
01 - Dacor Refrigerator Light Assembly
The light assembly might be defective. Some manufacturers don’t sell the light assembly components separately, and instead require you to purchase the light assembly.

03 - Dacor 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.

04 - Dacor Refrigerator Light Switch
To determine if the light switch is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the light switch does not have continuity, replace it.
Highly Likely
05 - Dacor Refrigerator Door Switch
To determine if the door switch is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the door switch does not have continuity when activated, replace it.
Highly Likely
06 - Dacor Refrigerator Light Socket
To determine if the light socket is defective, use a multimeter to determine if the socket is getting power. If the socket is getting power, but the light bulb won’t work, this indicates that the light socket is defective. If the light socket is defective, replace it.
Highly Likely
