Amana ART318FFDW 17.5 cu ft Top Freezer Refrigerator 28 in Width Energy Star Light Not Working Error Fix: Interior Light Does Not Turn On

Error code Light Not Working on the Amana ART318FFDW 17.5 cu ft Top Freezer Refrigerator 28 in Width Energy Star means: Interior Light Does Not Turn On. The interior light does not illuminate when the door is opened. First, replace the light bulb with the correct type (usually a 40W appliance bulb or LED module). If a new bulb does not work, check the door/light switch — it is a small plunger-style switch in the door frame. Press and release the switch; you should hear a click. Test the switch with a multimeter for continuity. If the switch is good and the bulb is new, check the wiring from the switch to the light socket for breaks or loose connections. On LED models, the entire LED module may need replacement.
