To check if your refrigerator light is on, open the door and locate the light switch, usually found near the door hinge. Press and release the switch—if the light turns on and off, it’s working fine. Alternatively, close the door partially and peer inside to see if the light goes out before it's fully closed. If neither method works, consider replacing the bulb or consulting a technician.
