Hotpoint Fridge Freezer Light Bulb

The lamp inside the fridge or freezer compartment.

Signs it has failed

• The light does not come on when the door opens
• The light flickers
• A cracked or missing cover
• A bulb that has blown repeatedly

Check before you buy

• Check the bulb type and cap on the old bulb or in the manual
• Check the door switch that controls the light
• Check the lamp holder for corrosion

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your fridge freezer and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the fridge
2. Remove the lamp cover by releasing the clips
3. Unscrew the old bulb and fit the new one of the same type and wattage
4. Refit the cover and plug in

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Use the same cap, voltage and wattage. Fridge bulbs are often a small appliance type, so check the old bulb or the manual before ordering.
