Re: Schreiber APM6121 Fridge Light Fault.

Just wanted to post a quick reply to say that I finally have the light working again!

You’re right Pengiun… the blue component seems to be a thermal protector.

I think the water may have seeped into this component and then frozen because as soon as I took a hairdryer to it the bulb started to work again!

Use a hairdryer… a little tip for anyone is a similar situation!

Re: Schreiber APM6121 Fridge Light Fault.

Thanks for replying Penguin45,

When you say bulb holder assembly do you mean the little plastic bulb holder that the bulb screws into with two metal connectors at the other end? Can water effect this badly?

I had my multi meter connected up to the wires which attach to the bulb holder and I was reading a small voltage going through but certainly not enough to power a 15w bulb… this is why I’m thinking it might have something to do with this blue component (faulty capacitor?) which is in circuit… When I push the door switch down the voltage drops to zero and then when I let it go it moves back up to about 0.2v… it’s like the voltage is being stopped by this blue component….

I think I’m going mad….arrrgh! I’ve gotta remember it’s just a fridge light but it’s really annoying me now. I just want it to work! hehe
