Change light in refrigerator
I bought replacement lamps for my refrigerator. Both bulbs are new
and I tested them with a continuity tester to verify them. Neither bulb works in either socket. I also tested the center pin inside the fridge and it is hot (and will go off when I push the door switch). Without taking the thing down, I can't see into the sockets. One thing I noticed is the shell connections are plastic. There must be a metal pin inside that touches the shell at some point, but I don't see one. I gave the bulbs a pretty strong twist when I put them in. I twisted tighter than I normally would have even tried, but neither bulb will glow. The fix has to be twist tighter, but I really really made them tight the first time. Anyone else have this problem? My fridge is a 15 year old Kenmore. |
