The first step to take before investigating why your LG fridge light isn’t working is to make sure that the power source is properly connected. Check the cord at the back of the fridge and ensure it’s plugged into an outlet with a correct voltage. If the power source appears to be normal, then move onto inspecting the bulbs.
If the power source appears to be in working order and your LG fridge light still isn’t turning on, the next step is to inspect the light bulb. Start by taking out the fridge shelves and walls to expose the lightbulb and socket. Once you have access to it, use a multimeter or a different tool to check if it’s getting proper power supply. In some cases, faulty bulbs may also be at fault. If so, replace it with an exact match as recommended in your owner’s manual.
Once you’ve inspected the light fixture and bulb, the next step is to check the door switch. It’s a small mechanical unit installed near the light that turns on when you open the door and turns off when it’s closed. With time, these switches can get dirt or food particles stuck inside which can disrupt their functionality. Therefore, use a damp cloth to scrub any debris away from the door switch and try powering on your fridge again.

If the door switch is functioning correctly and you still can’t get your fridge’s light to turn on, it’s time to locate and reset the main circuit breaker that cuts all power to your fridge. You can usually find this inside a utility room or basement wall that is closest to your appliance. Flip the breaker switch to “off” for at least 10 seconds and then flip it back on again. Once you have done this, try powering on your LG refrigerator again and check if the light works.
