Possible Causes

Burned-out LED module or bulb, Failed door switch, Loose light connector, Control board light output failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before replacing light modules or switches.

Steps to resolve:

  • Check multiple lights: If all interior lights are out, suspect a control or switch issue. If only one area is dark, suspect that specific module.
  • Inspect door switch: Press the switch manually and listen for a click. If the lights flicker or do not respond, the switch may be faulty.
  • Replace light module: Many KitchenAid models use LED modules that snap into place. Remove the lens, disconnect the module, and install a compatible replacement.

If replacing the light module and/or switch does not restore lighting, the main control board may have a failed light circuit and should be evaluated by a technician.
