Cory January 03, 2023 for Model Number LDC22720ST bulbs aren't working on the top refrigerator section (freezer lights are working fine). It's not the switch on the side. I am pretty sure it is the light sockets. Is this an easy DIY project?
1 Answer Cory, You will want to check to see if there is 120 vac getting to the light socket. If there is not then this will be a control board issue. To access this, remove the lens cover. Once removed you will remove the 2 screws holding the housing in place and then pull the light housing down to access the sockets to test them. Read More...
Steven August 10, 2022 for Model Number 795.7771270 Replaced 2 light switches and now the light bulb socket assembly Part #AP4438935. Still no lights. Tried 3 sets of bulbs :) Any ideas?
1 Answer Steven, based on the information provided, the main control 6871JB1423G would be the most likely cause of failure. Unfortunately, this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. Read More...
Steve July 18, 2022 for Model Number 795.77712700 Kenmore elite frigerator Interior light does not work. Replaced bulbs and 2 door switches. When you flick the light switch (pushing in and rapidly snap it open), the light blinks for a second.
1 Answer Steve, I would recommend checking the power at the light socket with a multimeter for power. If you have power and the bulb does not light up and the bulb is good then you have an issue with the socket. If you don't have power at the socket the issue could be wiring. Read More...
Julio December 27, 2021 for Model Number LG LFD25860ST Refrigerator LG LFD25860ST Refrigerator interior lights always on. Dual door switches tested and are okay. What is the light sockets' safety thermostat's function? Could this be the culprit?
1 Answer Julio, the safety thermostat is used to prevent overheating. Based on the information provided, the main control 6871JB1423N has a stuck relay for the light circuit and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Jon Brown June 29, 2021 for Model Number 795.77542600 Thank you for swift ba shipping of parts. Interior lights won’t work. Ordered new light switches didn’t help. Ordered lamp assembly. It had a safety switch that originally didn’t have. Replace all parts. Still don’t work. Seen in one of questions something about a circuit board?? Is this something that is replaced by someone that don’t know anything about that type of thing. Thank you Jon
1 Answer Jon, Yes, you would be able to replace the control board which will be the issue with the unit. This control board will be located on the back of the refrigerator and will have a cover over it. Make sure that the unit is unplugged before replacing the control board. Read More...
Matthew December 11, 2020 for Model Number 795.77553600 My twin bulbs were occasionally staying on when I opened the doors, all the way to the point where they only flickered for split second when opened. Naturally, I replaced the bulbs, twice, no avail. Still flickered. After some research, I purchased and installed new door switches (AP4650821). Still flickered. I just saw that this part (lamp socket EAG62831801)) could be the next step to replace, but I wanted to check with the experts first. With the lights flickering, what do you think would be the next step? Do you think it is Light bulb wattage issue? I'm currently trying to use a 60 Watt equivalent LED appliance bulb. Current bulb in use: YUKIHALU, LED Refrigerator Light Bulb 60W Equivalent A15 Appliance Fridge Bulbs, Waterproof 600 Lumen 7W 120V Daylight 5000K E26 Medium Base, Small Size Bulb for Damp Location, Not-Dim, 2-Pack Thanks! I have a Kenmore 795.77553600.
1 Answer Matthew, it would be recommended that the wire connection to the light bulb socket assembly EAG62831801 is accessed and tested for 120 Volts AC from the blue wire to the pink wire with a meter. If there is a continuous voltage supply, the failure would likely be in the socket assembly. If the voltage is not constant, the failure would likely be in the main control 6871JB1423N. In regards to the bulb used, it would be suggested that the manufacturer recommended bulb 6912JB2004M is used as this will ensure the correct current draw is being applied through the main control.

Barbara July 16, 2020 for Model Number LG Model LFX25960 #EAG62831801 Would this be the correct kit to order for replacing the bulb socket (2 twins), and would this kit include a new light shield which melted due to the lights not going off when the doors were closed? Special Note: the lights stayed on even after depressing the switch contact button. But then after awhile the button worked again?? Obviously a malfunction within somewhere! Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Barbra, the light socket assembly is part EAG62831801 it does not include any other parts, the metal light shield is part 3034JA1009A, the plastic light housing is part 3110JJ1014A. Read More...
Dan S. September 04, 2019 for Model Number LRFD22850SW The two door lights in the upper part of the refrigerator do not turn off when the doors close and have melted the protective plastic cover. What is the correct part number to order for this model and do I need to order 1 or 2 since there are two switches or does the needed part control both?
1 Answer Hello Dan, The manufacturer has a service bulletin on this model and the lights have been changed to the 40W version 6912JB2004M. The light sockets have also been replaced with EAG62831801 which has a thermostat to turn the lights off when a predetermined temperature has been reached. All damaged parts from the heat of the original lighting configuration should be replaced and both light switches 6600JB1010A and 6600JB3007L should be replaced to prevent any chance of recurrence.

John June 11, 2019 for Model Number LG Refrigerator LFC25760SW The refrigerator light in the refrigerator compartment does not work. The bulbs are good. I changed the light socket assy w/ safety device. Did not work. Changed the main board. Did not work. The door switches work. When you press the switches the temp.panel readouts go on & off like they should. You can also hear a click at the same time, but lights still do not work. .
1 Answer John, with the door open you will want to test connection 3 pin 5 of the main control for 120VAC, if there is 120VAC at that pin, then you will want to test the pink wire going to the bulb sockets for 120VAC (if the control is sending 120VAC). If the pink wire does not have 120VAC, then there is a break in the wire. If there is 120VAC going to the bulb sockets from the pink wire, then there is a chance that there may be an issue with the neutral side. Read More...
Joe White August 23, 2018 for Model Number 795.77713700 The 2 lights in the top do not come on when door is open
1 Answer Joe, Check to make sure that there are good light bulbs in the unit and if they are then pull the light assembly down by removing the 2 screws under the light shield and see if there is a thermostat in line of the light sockets. If so and the lights are not coming on then this would most likely be a bad thermostat which would need the light socket for or the control board is faulty and needing replaced. Read More...
