The light socket on your refrigerator houses the light bulb and connects it to the power source. If you notice that your refrigerator light does not come on when you open the door, you may need to replace the light socket. This light socket is made of white plastic with two metal prongs. The light socket is located inside the refrigerator. Many of our customers have rated this repair as easy. To complete this repair, simply pop the old socket out with a small flat blade screwdriver and disconnect the wires. Then simply reconnect the wires to the new socket, and snap it in place with the locking tab.

The light in the refrigerator side stopped working after 3 days. I do not know if it bulb or another problem
For model number FFSS2615TS
Hello Virginia, Thank you for the question. I suggest replacing the bulb first and if they did not fix the issue you may need to replace the socket. You can also test the socket with a multi meter for continuity. Hope this helps!

This video, this diagram and this light socket don't match the over/under model frt21lr8ds9. Nevertheless, my query for model number frt21lr8ds9 landed me here on this page. My fridge has a double socket as you do show in your schematics page for this model, not the single socket which you are selling here and showing in this video. What is the correct part number for the socket i will need? Thanks
For model number frt21lr8ds9
Hi Pa, thank you for your question. This light socket is the correct part for your appliance. Your original light socket was discontinued and the manufacturer replaced it with the part listed. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Light socket melted around bulb
After unsuccessfully trying to change the blown light bulb I discovered that the plastic light socket had gotten so hot that it melted and permanently fused with the blown bulb. After my new socket arrived in the mail I just popped the temp control assembly out with a screw driver and removed the old socket and placed the new one in. Whole operation to 5 minutes.

The refrigerator light would not work ...even after replacing the bulb.
I used a flat head screwdriver to pry open the front of the socket as I pushed the socket toward the freezer side. I unplugged the two wires connected to the socket then re-connected the two wires to the new socket and popped the new socket back in. I then put a new light bulb in and we had light again in the fridge.

I didn't think it worked the first time, but I just hadn't screwed the bulb in tight enough. I tried again after using a multimeter on it and it was good.
