Fixing to inside of fridge

kirk.

Hi

The door operated light is kaput

Is it possible to fix a battery pir light to the top of the fridge with 2 screws without affecting the operation of the fridge?

I don't think I'll hit anything at that location ?

Thanks

Before you go screwing something onto the inside of the fridge - what's the Make/Model and what have you attempted so far to get the built-in light working again?

You should get an electrician or someone competent to do that job.

Wouldn’t the battery drain quickly in the cold?

Of you are going down the route is an attachment then something like this may be better.

They have a plate that sticks onto the surface and the light can be removed to replace the batteries. It would be much safer than putting a screw into the unknown, and risks involved to the sealed unit and/or hitting a wire or some component behind the fridge wall.

I know that one in the link is out of stock right now, but there are other similar brands with the plate.

I'd be wary of screwing anything into the fridge, could easily damage something.

Do you have any idea why its not working, they are normally quite simple, a switch and a bulb.

If you can get a multimeter to the bulb contacts should be able to check if power there, if not its probably issue with switch.

Would you not just replace the bulb?

I'd use DSST and clean and fully dry the mating surfaces well beforehand.

3M's DSST is rated the best, it's even used for rear-view mirrors.

I’d say it’s more than a bulb but the correct thing to do would be replace the original light fitting if that is the case.

Double Sided Sticky Tape - surely a commonly-enough term which deserves it's own acronym?

Think I saw it in Woodies recently - or try an auto-factors.
