Troubleshooting your Maytag chest freezer when interior lights don't work

If your interior lights don't turn on when you open the freezer lid and you already replaced the light bulb, then the lid switch may have failed. Unplug the freezer and test the lid switch with a multimeter. Replace the lid switch if it failed.

Some chest freezers use LED's to light the interior compartment. If an LED light board doesn't light up when activated, replace the light board.

Faulty lighting system wiring also prevents interior lights from working. Replace or repair any damaged wiring in the lighting system.
