Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Led Light Module (Part Number: OEM21650664)

Sam for Model Number 10651713411

I have had several LED modules in my fridge/freezer either completely off or slightly dim. About 5 total are not working. Concerned that it might be a problem with the LED power supply, I swapped a working one and non working one. The broken one started working and the working one broke when swapping locations. Is it possible the power supply went out? Or could one broken LED module be affecting the rest of them? I'm trying to determine if I should order replacement LED modules but I'm concerned it might not fix the problem if the issue is the power going to the LED modules. But maybe replacing all 5 will fix the issue? I don't think they all went out at once. Any help here would be appreciated.

Hello Sam, thank you for reaching out to AppliancePartsPros.com
It is unlikely to be the LED supply board, usually it is just a bad LED module or 2. The LEDs are wired in series and this model has 3 separate series of LEDs, so if 1 LED in a series goes out the other will appear very dim or go out as well. The easiest way to test is to take a jumper wire and jump out each individual LED in a series that have gone dark until you find the bad one, usually the culprit is in the freezer section but could be in the fridge section.
The manufacturer who built this model for Kenmore had a known issue with this and updated the LED modules to help take care of the issue. You can no longer get the individual LED modules, they come as a kit W11683241. This kit has 12 LEDs in it and your model only uses 10, but the manufacturer recommends to replace all of the LEDs at the same time to update them and prevent this issue from returning.

Greg, based on the manufacturer's information, the correct kit for the model number provided would be the LED kit W11683241 which should have black connectors on the LED modules as well as repair connectors for any wires that may be broken at the connector.

Paul, the freezer light WPW10515057 would be the likely cause of failure. This can be tested by taping the freezer door switch down and removing the light. Once the light has been disconnected, a jumper wire can be placed into the wire connection of the freezer and the refrigerator door opened. If the lights work properly, the freezer light has a shorted LED and would need to be replaced. The jumper wire can not be left in as it can create further issues, it is for testing purposes only.

Lynn, based on the information provided, the LED module W11683243 that is out would need to be replaced. When one goes out, it creates a short and causes the rest to dim or not turn on at all.

Mike,

Check the freezer sensors to ensure that they are good and if they are then this will most likely be a faulty main control board.

Anwar, as all lights are illuminating, the main LED module W11043011 at the top of the refrigerator would need to be tested. There should be 120VAC from the tan/yellow wire to the red/orange wire and when the door is open, the two other wires should show 12VDC when tested. If there is not 12VDC when the door is open, the LED module has failed and would need to be replaced.

Adria, the freezer light W11602886 will have a lock tab on the narrow side that can be pressed in using a small flat head screwdriver while lifting the bulb away. This can be done while either having the door switch taped shut or while having the refrigerator power cord unplugged for safety.

Hello Lamar,
the freezer led lights are part W11683241, since they are in series if one is faulty they would all go out, to check which is faulty you can swap them out one at a time with a known good led light As far as the ice maker not working check the lower freezer door hinge area for any damage to the FC door wire harness.

PaDisney,

With only the upper 3 lights in the refrigerator not working but all other lights working, this will be a faulty control board WPW10453401.
