How to Fix a Frigidaire Freezer Light

Figidaire produces home and commercial-grade freezers of various styles and capacities. They all feature a light that turns on when the door is opened, to better illuminate the contents inside. If your freezer's light does not turn on, and you have already replaced the light bulb with a new one, the likely problem is a faulty switch, which must be replaced.
