W11239944 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Light

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Light (W11239944) is a genuine part produced by Whirlpool, specifically designed for use in their refrigerators. This part is compatible with a variety of Whirlpool's refrigerator models. This component is sometimes referred to as the interior illumination module or simply, the fridge light.

The function of this part is to illuminate the interior of your refrigerator when the door is opened, allowing you to easily view and access your stored food items. It works in conjunction with the door switch, activating when the refrigerator door is opened and turning off when it's closed to conserve energy. The light bulb transforms electricity into light, while an opaque light cover helps to diffuse this light and direct it downwards over the shelves.

If your refrigerator's interior is not lighting up when the door is opened, or if the light is flickering or dim, it might be an indication that this part is failing or broken. In such cases, a direct replacement with an equivalent part is advised.

Before purchasing, please ensure to verify the model number of your appliance for compatibility with the Whirlpool Refrigerator Light (W11239944).
