Light Shield; Air Duct Removal (Non-Dispensing Models); Upper Light Fixture; Freezer Compartment Light Switch - Electrolux 5995502399 Service Manual

Light Shield Removal
To remove the light shield, remove any adjustable
shelves and then simply grab the light shield along one
side and flex out at the center until retaining tabs are
clear of the liner sidewall. (See Figure 6-52)
Air Duct Removal
(Non-dispensing Models)
The fresh food air duct is different on the non-dispenser
models. There is now a single plug to connect to the
main wiring harness. The damper assembly and the
fresh food thermister can still be replaced separately.
(See Figure 6-53)
Upper Light Fixture Removal
To remove the upper light fixture, disconnect power from
the unit first. Pull the light diffuser away from the light
fixture. Disconnect the electrical leads at the Molex
connector. Remove the light bulb by turning the bulb
counter-clockwise. The light fixtures are removed by
extracting the two bolts and pulling the assembly out
from the cabinet. (See Figure 6-54)
Freezer Compartment Light Switch Removal
The freezer compartment light switch is located in the left
side center of the freezer liner toward the back of the
freezer.
To remove the freezer compartment light switch:
1. Disconnect power from unit.
2. Remove the upper two freezer baskets if equipped.
3. Using a putty knife inserted between the liner and
switch, push down and out on the top of the switch
until it clears the liner. (See Figure 6-55)
4. Pull the switch out of the liner and transfer the wires
from the bottom of the old switch to the new switch.
5. To reinstall, put the bottom of the switch and wires
in the opening first and then push the top back in
place.
NOTE: This light switch is activated by a arm sticking up
on the lower freezer basket rail. If the basket rail arm
is bent, it may not hit the switch which will result in the
lights staying on. If the lights do not shut off on the
switch the lower control board will shut the lights off after
15 minutes.
