Possible Causes

Failed door switch, Burned-out LED module, Loose wiring to light assembly, Faulty control board light output

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Steps:

  • Locate door switch: Typically found in the door frame area. Press it manually with the door open to see if the light flickers.
  • Test switch: Remove the switch and test continuity with a multimeter. Replace if it does not change state when pressed.
  • Inspect LED module: Remove the light cover and check for visible damage. Replace the LED light assembly if it appears burnt or cracked.
  • Check wiring: Ensure connectors to the switch and light are secure.

Note: Some Whynter models control the light via the main board; if both switch and LED are good, the board may be at fault.
