• Symptoms: no light, intermittent flicker, or a bulb that won't seat firmly

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove any lens/cover, note wire placement, and install the new socket in the original orientation
• Use an E12-base appliance bulb with the wattage specified on your model's rating label
• Restore power and verify operation with the door switch
