Dealing with a non-functional fridge light can be a common yet frustrating household issue. Whether it's a burnout or flickering, a malfunctioning fridge light can hinder the efficiency of your appliance. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the process of changing your fridge light and solving common issues associated with it. As always, Tata Neu remains your trusted partner for all your appliance needs, ensuring reliability and convenience.
Fridge lights might need replacing for several reasons, such as burnout, flickering, or simply being too dim. A functioning fridge light is crucial as it aids in the efficient use of your appliance by making the contents visible, especially in low light conditions.
Fridge bulbs come in different types, including incandescent, LED, and appliance-specific bulbs. To check the existing bulb type, refer to your fridge manual or inspect the bulb for any markings.
To replace the fridge light, you will need:
A new bulb
Gloves
Screwdriver (if required)
Safety first! Unplug the fridge or switch off the power at the circuit breaker to avoid any electrical hazards.
Carefully remove the old bulb by unscrewing it counterclockwise. If it’s tight or stuck, gently wiggle it while turning to prevent breakage. Remember, using gloves can help protect your hands and provide a better grip.

Screw in the new bulb by turning it clockwise until it’s snug. Ensure that the bulb is secure but do not overtighten as it may cause damage.
Restore power to your fridge and test the new light. If the light doesn’t turn on, double-check the bulb’s installation and the power connection. If issues persist, consult Tata Neu's customer support for further assistance.
This could be due to a faulty bulb, loose connection, or an issue with the fridge's internal wiring. Ensure the bulb is properly installed and test the power connection. If the problem remains, professional help may be required.
A flickering light could indicate a loose bulb or a power issue. Tighten the bulb and ensure a stable power supply. Persistent flickering might need a professional inspection.
Dim lighting often points to an aging bulb or power supply issues. Replace the bulb with a new one and ensure the power connections are secure.
