Dave Squires September 06, 2018 for Model Number kenmore refrigerator 970-438741 Has a dual socket light socket in the fridge like Part#240364201 The light socket works on the front socket but the back socket doesn't work if screwed in tight. Loosen it and it works but can flicker if anything wiggles the light or fridge. Can't find how to remove the socket to look at and repair/replace.
1 Answer Dave, If you remove the control housing where the light socket is located you should be able to push the tabs on the backside to remove the light socket assembly. Read More...
D.J. April 06, 2018 for Model Number Kenmore 253.69249702 Thank you for the quick reply to my previous question. This is additional information to my earlier question. Only one light on my two bulb light socket is working correctly. The other one (in the back) seems to flicker most of the time. This is in the refrigerated section of my Kenmore refrigerator. I tried the "working correctly one" in the flickering socket, but it too will flicker. I tried a new bulb, but the same thing happens. Does this mean I need a new light socket or could there be a problem with the connection? Thank you
Dj April 06, 2018 for Model Number Kenmore 253.69249702 One of the light bulbs, in the refrigerator part, of the light socket is always flickering, the other one is fine. Does this indicate that the light socket does need to be replaced or could it be another part?
1 Answer DJ, In most cases the light bulb would be the culprit for this and it is possible that the bulb is not in all the way. Read More...

Ron B. April 15, 2012 for Model Number FRT21LR7DS0 Is it possible that the light socket itself needs replacing? (part #AP2549947
1 Answer Hi Ron. The light socket is part # 240364201. The door switch is part # []. Make sure they both have tight connections and they are receiving 120 vac to each device to send it to the bulb. Use the supplied wiring diagram behind the kick grill or in the controls section. The center post in the socket is 120 vac positive. The threaded sides are the white neutraL (negative). The door switch just opens and closes the positive feed wire. Thank You. Read More...
