How to change light bulb in ge refrigerator model gts18dbpalww

The dispenser bulb looks similar to a c7 christmas bulb or night light bulb but they are not the same. The dispenser bulb on some are 6 volt and some are 12 volt. The night light bulbs are 120 volt and will light very dim. Make sure you got the correct bulb from an appliance part dealer. They will need your model number of the fridge. Or check on line parts stores like www.vvapplianceparts.com.

Light doesn't work

1. Light bulb

If your refrigerator light does not power on, the first thing to replace would logically be the light bulb itself.

1. Light assembly

If your refrigerator light does not power on and you have replaced the bulb, this is an indication that the light assembly may have malfunctioned and will require replacement.

1. Light switch

If you notice that your refrigerator lights are not working, replace your refrigerator light bulb. If this does not correct the issue, proceed to check the power light switch.

1. Door switch

If your refrigerator light is not working and it is not the bulb itself or the power light switch, the next thing to check is the door switch. This can be checked for continuity with an ohm meter. If there is no continuity present, the door switch will need to be replaced.

1. Light socket

If your refrigerator light is not working after replacing the light bulb, check for a possible damaged light socket. If the socket is faulty, replace the part to get your refrigerator light to power on again.

1. Light board

If the refrigerator light is not working the light board could be defective. The LEDs on this board are not repairable, so the entire board will need to be replaced.

Dispenser
Unplug the refrigerator.
The bulb is located on the dispenser
under the control panel.
Remove the light bulb by turning
it counterclockwise.
Replace the bulb with a bulb of the
same size and wattage.
Plug the refrigerator back in and you are ready to go!

I need the model number you may have a short and lights are reaming on while door is closed. This sounds like a recall or fire hazard Unplug let the area cool remove the bulbs or risk property damage until confirmed what model you have Sea Breeze

Use the correct wattage bulbs. If they fail often then you may need to get it checked by an electrician.
Filament bulbs easily burn out. What you can do is to buy cheap bulbs and replace as soon as they burn. This is the problem which is why tube lights and LEDs were invented!

Change the bulb!!

According to GE this uses a 40 Watt appliance bulb. You should be able to get one from any department or home improvement store.

It snaps in place by lifting the plastic cover. Then when you replace push it in then down. It has two tabs one on each end.
