Possible Causes

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

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before replacing any light components or accessing wiring.

Steps:

  • Check light settings: Some models allow disabling the light; verify it is not turned off via the control panel.
  • Test door switch: Manually press the door switch plunger (if visible) and see if the light responds. If not, the switch or light circuit may be faulty.
  • Inspect light module: Remove the light cover inside the cabinet and check for loose connections.
  • Replace light module: If the LED or bulb is visibly damaged or does not work when supplied with power, install a new Whirlpool-compatible light assembly.
  • Door switch replacement: If the light works when bypassing the switch, replace the door switch.
