FIXED 106.51764510 Kenmore Refrigerator - Freezer LED lights not working

I have a Kenmore 106.51764510 Side by Side frig (built 9-17) and the freezer LED lights are no longer coming on with the door open (they did when we first bought the house in March 2019). Frig lights are fine. I replaced the door switch but no change. If I "jiggle" the freezer door switch the lights will come on for a mere fraction of a second but that's it. Everything else about the refrigerator works fine.

Ideas????

Hi,

On this model all of your interior LED lights use the exact same LED Module. Take a good working LED Module out of the refrigerator section and put it inside the freezer and see if it works, if so, then you will just need a new LED Module.

Here's the LED Module for your model: W11130208

Jake.......Thanks for the response. I'm not sure that's the problem. There are multiple light modules/fixtures(?) in the freezer. None of them work.

The LED modules are in series, it's like the old Christmas lights, if one bulb is bad the rest of the lights won't work. LOL

OH!!!!!! Now that makes sense though it's a bad design! Thanks

UPDATE: I received the new module today, popped it in and "let there be light".

Thanks again Jake!
