Lamp Assembly
The operation of the fresh food compartment 12 Vdc
lamp is controlled by a magnet activated reed relay
switch. The switch is in the optical control circuit
board and the magnet is permanently mounted on the
underside of the door's top trim piece.
Run wires down thru drip pan drain hole and hose into outside compartment. Connect to 12V DC power source....on/off switch with 1A in-line fuse.
(Drill 1/4" hole in drain hose approx 2" above drip cup so hose can remain in drip cup and wires exit drain hose)
