Whirlpool Refrigerator - LED Freezer light not working properly

[FWL]

@rickgburton,

That would be the exact same model number as the one in this thread. You have three LED modules. Each module has 4 LEDs. The FC module and the RC module in the back are DC modules.

The Led module in front of the RC(Refrigerator Compartment) is a AC/DC module. Access that one first and check for 120 Volts AC across the yellow wire and white wire and 11-14 Volts DC on the other two modules

@rickgburton, how do you use a digital multimeter to test these LED boards specifically? After going through some tutorials, I have not been able to figure out how to do so. Attached is a picture of the freezer light (W10515057). Blue circle is around the settings on the DMM (is ACV 250 correct?) and the blue arrows are where I tried putting the probes but the LED lights did not turn on. Let me know if the DMM settings are incorrect or the probes need to be put in a different spot. Thanks.

Rick has been out sick since Jan.12th with a serious illness, we are hoping and praying for a speedy recovery!

Model number? Usually its 14 volts DC you check with your meter at the LED electrical connector.

I also have same problem. Replaced two sets of lights worked for awhile and now dead. Checked voltage and do not have the 14 volts. the light switch test ok. T mol

Hi tmol, what's the model number of the refrigerator?

 

[tmol]

WRS325FDAM02. Whirlpool it is a side x side

 

[Jake]

Thanks!

These LED lights run in series, this one is the main AC/DC LED module in the top ceiling in the refrigerator section:
Led Light Assembly WPW10515058


That is the one that sends 14 volts DC to the other LED's. So that is the bad one.

Ok so the voltage going into that board is 110 from the light switch. And the board converts to 14 dc to the other lights: tmol

 

[Jake]

That's exactly how it works tmol.

 

[tmol]

Ok thanks — will update tmol

 

[Jake]

Ok, sounds good tmol. Please do.

 

[tmol]

still have not been to refrigerator repair to correct light problem. Will update when I do
thanks t mol

 

[Jake]

Ok tmol, sounds good, yes let us know.
