Changing Interior Light Bulbs on Samsung RFG297AARS Refrigerator

[@drsmiddy1959]

Thanks that helped me a bunch.

I could not have done this without your help, But there is a problem the lights do not turn off when the door closes🧐, if you push in the the door light activation thing it just remains on.

That could be a problem with the door switch. If the “door open” chime rings also after several minutes , I’d check the switch operation. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the circuit details.

@@danhilsdorf23 no alarm, I’m just going to run with 1 light that’s sufficient & doesn’t overheat due to being refrigerated, if it lasts it’s 15000 hours that’s 625 days then I would swap it with the other one I purchased, if the fridge lasts that long ? It’s now 14 years old.

I still can't figure out how to remove that plastic cover off. It just won't come out!

[@myfriend57]

It might help to squeeze it on the long sides together. This will bend it inwards, releasing the clips on those sides. Then it will be somewhat looser, and I believe you’ll find your way. I found that out after I finally got it off.

@@myfriend57 Thanks, I'll give it a try.

It's a bear but it will come off

@@a60dan So your fridge is a 2009 model Samsung. 13 year old fridge here. Does it still work?.

[@a60dan]

@@homeguestunton yes. I guess that’s something to be grateful for.

Heh heh! You said “Samsung” Great phones and TVs… Appliances? Not so much, IMO.

[@homeguestunton]

I also have Samsung appliances.

When the lightbulb is in the fridge light for a long time. The heat will eventually melt the plastic. As a 60W incandescent bulb would obviously get extremely hot when on. Even if it’s in a fridge or freezer.
