326789 - GE Refrigerator Bulb

This GE Refrigerator Bulb (326789) is a genuine part compatible with multiple brands, including GE, Metabo-HPT, and Whirlpool. Refrigerator bulbs, such as this incandescent light or “bulb”, are essential for providing interior illumination when the refrigerator door is opened. Mounted in sockets connected to the electrical supply, these bulbs activate via a door switch. Their design considers the unique refrigerator environment, featuring small wattages appropriate for compartmentalized, low-level lighting and a glass bulb that filters harsh light. Alternative lighting types like fluorescent bulbs may also be used in refrigerators. Notably, a failing bulb may lead to a lack of interior light when the door is opened. Symptoms indicating it's time for replacement include burned out or dim bulbs, which can be addressed by disconnecting power and accessing the mounted socket for a new bulb installation. Before purchasing, it's important to verify your refrigerator model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
