Interior Light Not Illuminating - Quad Door

Possible Solutions

Have the doors been open for an extended time?  

If the door(s) are opened for more than 10 minutes, the interior lights will automatically turn off. To reset the lights, close all the doors and keep them closed for 1 minute.  

Is the door switch being activated?  

The door switch controls the interior lights in your refrigerator. It is activated when the door is opened and closed. If the switch is not engaged properly, the interior lights could remain off. The fresh food compartment door switch is located on the top left and right hinge covers. The freezer and Convertible Space door switch is located in the bottom mullion.

To ensure proper door switch contact, check the following:

  • The refrigerator is level, and the doors are properly aligned
  • Ensure there are no magnets or electronic devices (Speaker, CoolVox, etc) within 3 inches of the door switch

Is the wiring harness unplugged?  

If the refrigerator was recently moved or installed and the doors were removed, ensure the wiring plug is connected correctly.  The wiring plug can be found under the top hinge cover. Reminder - Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power before checking.  For complete instructions on removing the hinge cover and the wiring plug, please see your Installation Instructions.
