how to replace a fridge's B22d bayonet globe

published by dudelast updated 8 november 2026

an owner-accessible failed globe can be changed only as the fridge manual permits. the linked clear globe is rated 25 W at 240 V ac with a B22d bayonet cap and a stated height of 58 mm.

it has two side pins and two bottom contacts and needs enough room inside the cover. the cover, holder and door switch are not included.

repair type: owner care
difficulty: easy
hands-on time: ~ 10 min

scope: unplug and cool before access. a sealed light unit, broken glass or damaged holder needs service; do not force a mismatched cap.

tools and materials

clean gloves or lint-free cloth

steps

disconnect and cool
switch off at the power point, unplug the fridge and let the globe cool. check the manual permits the change; a sealed light unit needs service.
check the old globe
check the full model, cap and wattage. compare the actual globe, not just its box: it needs two side pins and two base contacts.
change the globe
remove the cover and old globe as the manual directs. handle the cooled globe with clean gloves or a cloth and seat the matching B22d cap with a gentle push and twist. do not touch holder contacts or force it; stop for broken glass or a damaged holder.
refit and check the cover
refit the cover and reconnect as the manual directs. check that the light comes on with the door open. if it stays dark or another globe soon fails, arrange service rather than replacing more bulbs.
