I have the same problem. Bulb blew out, I replaced it and it's still not working. The switch on the door is fine too.

- I tried your suggestion (and actually thought of that before), but it's in so tightly now that I'm afraid any further tightening will cause the bulb to break in my hand/rag.

- It's an appliance bulb - same brand as what was in there and everything. However, it just occurred to me that I have a "Maintenance Plan" on the fridge through my local gas & electric provider, so I'll call them and have them deal with it. I'll post back if it's isn't something stupid! :-) Thanks for your help. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to fire away. I won't be able to get anyone out here before the end of next week anyway.

Hi, I know this sound silly but, I go on a lot of service calls for the light bulb. Most of the time, all I have to do is give the bulb a half turn mre. They can feel tightened but, it might take a little more turn. I use a rag and grab the bulb with my fingers and the palm of my hand and twist.You might need to losen the bulb and try tightening it again.
I hope this helps you.

- Wow...... Is this an appliance bulb or regular household bulb? I know it shouldn,t matter. If you have a voltage meter, you can see if the bulb receptical has 120V to it. Put one lead on the center tab inside the recept, and one lead on the threaded part.

- I am glad you have that plan. Sometimes issues like this can drive ya nuts........... Please let me know what they find.
