Possible Causes

Burnt-out LED module or bulb, Faulty door switch, Loose light connector, Failed light driver on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before replacing bulbs or LED modules.

Steps:

  • Check door switch: Press the door switch manually and see if the light flickers. If not, test or replace the switch.
  • Replace bulb/module: On models with replaceable bulbs, unscrew and replace with the correct type. For LED modules, remove the light cover and replace the module with a Hotpoint-compatible part.
  • Inspect wiring: Ensure the light connector is firmly seated and wires are intact.
  • Control board: If the light circuit on the board has failed, the main board may need replacement, though this is less common.
