How do I change the lightbulb in the main refrigerator compartment

Turn off the power to the refrigerator/freezer by flipping the appropriate switch in your breaker panel. Alternatively, unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet.
2
Open the freezer door. Remove any items from the shelf directly under the light shield, then remove the shelf.
3
Press down on the top, front edge of the light shield until the locking tabs slip out of the slots. Swivel the light shield downward slightly to release it. Pull the shield out of the freezer compartment and set it aside.
4
Turn the light bulb counterclockwise to remove it. Insert the GE replacement bulb into the light socket and twist it clockwise.
5
Reattach the light shield by sliding it into place. Gently push the tabs into the original slots.
6
Insert the shelf into the freezer and reload it with the frozen food removed earlier.
7
Close the freezer door. Restore power to the refrigerator by flipping on the breaker or plugging it into the wall outlet.

on what would you like to change the lightbulb and what is the model number if it's a refrigerator I need the model number of the refrigerator found inside the fresh food compartment or on the back

you will have to remove the light shield, remove the plastic trim that says the model number in front of the light shield, then the 2 screws holding the side cover on the left side of the fridge section. Then the cover will need to be pushed towards the rear of the fridge then tipped out at the front. It has springs holding it in the back.That should access the bulb you need to change

Your Sub-Zero unit contains standard 40 watt appliance bulbs in all compartments.

You'll need to remove the light shield in the top of the refrigerator or freezer to replace the bulbs. Place your hands under the light shield and release the two clips on the back of the light shield, then lift up and slide back slowly until the key slots on the side of the light shield drop past the mounting studs in the side walls. Then remove the shield.

The bulbs are now accessible.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

Hi, To acess the light. Remove the plastic cover over light carefully. Replace bulb and your good to go.

The hooks are on the inside of the shield. Use a flathead and pry lightly on the sheild edge nearest the back of the refrigerator on either side.

Make sure the oven is off and cool (turn off the circuit breaker). Wear a leather glove to protect your hand. Depending on your model, there may be a glass shield held by a metal holder over the lamp. In the case of a unit with this holder, press on one side to release the shield and remove it. Remove the bulb by turning it counter-clockwise. Replace with a 40 W appliance bulb (turn clockwise). Replace the glass shield and the holder. (On some oven models, the shield will twist on and off like a bulb.)

There are several models of Kenmore 47783 Ovens; manuals are available here: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals/search?query=Kenmore+47783 .

I hope this helps.

(please note: never operate the oven without the shield in place if your oven has one.)

Some models are different...I hope this helps.

There are two tabs that hold the top of the lighthouse on; push in gently just above one of the tabs, and it should release the top of the lighthouse. The red and green covers just pop off.

Most shields push in then down to engage them so push in and lift straight up. They are tight so will take a little pressure to remove. They have 2 or 3 tabs.
