Light in the fridge, but not the freezer

[Corey123]

The lights that DO come in the fridge and freezer compartments are only 40 watts and those are small appliance-type light bulbs, so they shouldn't be giving off THAT much heat.

Otherwise the food that's inside would spoil.

I do not think heat is a problem with the bulbs. There are many freezers that do have lights. Don't forget that the light only comes on when the door is open and no one is going to keep the door open for very long. The light will not have time to heat up the food even if it was a very hot light.

Yeah, these small light bulbs give off very little heat if any at all.

Hardly enough to cause any concern or worry about food spoiling in either compartment.

Since the light is only on when the door is open. The open door will add a lot more heat to the freezer than the bulb.

And with the evaporator fan & compressor running, recovery time to get the freezer compartment back down to zero degrees should take only about 15 minutes.
