You can try tapping the light switch (snapping it on and off) to see if that helps but this usually would require a voltage checker or multimeter to test for 120 volts at the socket of the bulb. If you're not comfortable with electrical stuff, don't stick test leads into a live socket... Basically you will somehow need to determine if the switch is the problem by pulling it out and testing for voltage, etc. Some models have a thermal overload to kill the power to the light if it should stay on for some reason, that could be bad too if you have one installed. This type complaint is hard to resolve unless you have the test equipment to explore where power is or is not.

Light on outside of stand up freezer not work. This light shows the freezer has power how do you fix. Light on outside of the door on freezer no access from the inside

If the light on the outside of the stand-up freezer is not working, first check the light bulb to see if it needs to be replaced. If the bulb is not the issue, then check the wiring connections to ensure they are properly connected. If the connections are loose, tighten them to see if that resolves the issue. If these steps do not work, it may be necessary to replace the light socket or contact a professional to assess and repair the issue.

Replaced 30 watt bulb in refrigerator section with 25 watt bulb still will not light otherwise working well, my be switch . freezer section light works

Either the door switch or the light socket is bad. Disconnect the refrigerator and pull the switch out and test it with an ohmmeter for continuity.

No light in refer but works in freezer

Check the door switch to see if is working and try another light bulb or try the light bulb somewhere else to see if the light bulb is good. Check to if vent holes coming from the feezer are blocked by something in the fridge. This will make it feel like your fridge is not working.

FREEZER SECTION WORKING OK, FRIDGE SECTION NOT WORKING

Check the vents of your fridge side if present, if no air then may be your blower not working or some ice formation that blocks the air(try defrosting). Check also your vents for obstruction or overloaded with stocks.
