The Light Bulb Socket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for housing the bulb that illuminates the interior fridge light. The socket provides a protective casing and stable electrical connection for the light bulb. Its interior components are precisely arranged to safely conduct current to the bulb.
Causes of a bad light bulb socket can include cracks, loose connections, or damaged internal wiring due to regular use over time.
Symptoms of a bad light bulb socket include:
- The fridge interior light failing to turn on
- The bulb burning out quickly
- Flickering or intermittent lighting
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
