Possible Causes

Burned-out LED light module, Faulty door switch, Loose light wiring connector, Failed light driver on control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the freezer before working on the light or switch.

Steps to restore light:

  • 1. Check door switch: Press the door switch manually and listen for a click. Test continuity with a multimeter; replace the door switch if faulty.
  • 2. Inspect light module: Remove the light cover and check the LED light module for burn marks or loose connections. Reseat the connector.
  • 3. Replace light module: If the module is defective, install a new one compatible with your Essentials freezer.
  • 4. Check control board: If both switch and light are good, the light circuit on the main control PCB may be faulty and require replacement.

Tip: While the light is convenient, the freezer will still cool without it; prioritize safety if you are unsure about electrical work.
