Fridge Lamp Bulb 40W 220V E27
Replacement fridge and freezer interior lamp – compatible with the brands shown unless advised otherwise
Description
This genuine fridge and freezer interior lamp is identical to the original fitted at the factory, restoring proper illumination inside the cabinet so shelves and drawers can be seen clearly again.
This standard screw-in bulb has an E27 base and a clear glass envelope, manufactured to the original specification so it seats fully in the existing holder and lights as soon as the door is opened. A failed lamp is one of the simplest faults to fix, and fitting the correct genuine bulb avoids the frustration of an incompatible base, an incorrect voltage rating, or a bulb that is physically too large for the housing.
The E27 screw fitting is used across an unusually wide spread of refrigeration brands, and this lamp is confirmed as suitable for a very large number of appliances spanning the Whirlpool group and a long list of independent manufacturers. That breadth makes it a practical spare to keep on hand, but you should still check the holder type and lamp housing before ordering.
This lamp will only fit appliances that use a standard E27 screw base and a housing sized to accept a bulb of this length and diameter. Please confirm the holder type and available clearance before ordering. If you are unsure please don't hesitate to contact us and ask for assistance.

Common Faults & SymptomsThe following symptoms are commonly reported when a fridge or freezer interior lamp begins to fail. Use this as a diagnostic guide before ordering a replacement — if more than one of these is present, the lamp is the likely culprit. 1
Interior light does not come on
The cabinet stays dark when the door is opened and the shelves are hard to see. A failed filament in the bulb is the most common cause once the door switch has been ruled out.
2
Light flickers or works intermittently
The lamp brightens and dims, or only lights when the door is moved to a certain position. A bulb that is not screwed fully home, or a worn holder contact, will produce this effect.
3
Bulb has visibly blackened or clouded
A grey or silver deposit on the inside of the glass shows the filament has been burning away. The bulb may still glow weakly, but it will soon fail entirely.
4
Bulb blows repeatedly
Replacement lamps fail within a short time of fitting. A bulb of the wrong voltage rating or a loose holder that arcs at the contacts can cause repeat failures, so the rating and holder should both be checked.
5
Light stays on with the door closed
The lamp remains lit after the door is shut, warming the cabinet and raising running costs. This is usually a door switch fault rather than the bulb, so test the switch before ordering a lamp.
6
Bulb is loose in its holder
The lamp rocks or turns easily rather than seating firmly. A bulb of the correct E27 base should screw down snugly, and anything that does not indicates the wrong base type.
7
Cracked glass envelope
A chipped or cracked bulb should be replaced straight away, even if it still works. A damaged envelope can let moisture reach the filament in a fridge environment and fail without warning.
8
Bulb too large for the lamp housing
The lamp fits the holder but the cover will not clip back on, or the bulb touches the lens. Length and diameter must both be checked against the housing before ordering.
Fitment GuidanceThis lamp is confirmed as suitable for a very large number of refrigeration appliances across the brands listed above, but the holder type and housing clearance must still be checked. Not every fridge uses an E27 screw fitting.
Diagnostic TipsBefore concluding that the lamp has failed, carry out these checks to rule out other causes.
Installation GuideThese steps describe the general procedure. The exact sequence varies between models, so always consult the appliance service manual where available.
Before Ordering, Check These First

Fridge & Freezer Spare Parts.
Refrigeration components are highly model-specific. Don't rely on generic user manuals which cover entire ranges; locating your precise rating plate is the only way to guarantee fitment.
Locating the Rating Plate
In fridges, check the inner side walls near the salad crisper. In freezers, the sticker is often located behind the lower storage baskets. This data plate is vital for both genuine and compatible sourcing.
Technician-Curated
We only list parts that our engineers actually use or customers frequently request. This prevents you from sifting through thousands of irrelevant components that never fail, making the search fast and relevant.
! Images & Sizes for Information Only
Component parts may vary in shape, size, or terminal layout from the images shown. Manufacturers frequently update designs or alter production specifications without notice.
CRITICAL: Many refrigeration parts look identical but are position-specific or used in thousands of variations. Do not rely on visual comparison—verify via model data or ask us first.
Get it Right, First Time.
Ordering the wrong refrigeration part is a major hassle. We want to help you avoid the cost and inconvenience of incorrect fitment.
Emailing us allows our experts to send technical drawings and diagrams directly to you. It is the most reliable way to identify parts and find money-saving alternatives.
Unsure of compatibility?
Don't be hasty. One wrong digit leads to the wrong part!

Beko Europe & Global Platform Specialist
Whirlpool
Spare Parts.
Whirlpool, historically the world's largest appliance producer, has recently transitioned its European operations to Beko Europe. This legacy network means Whirlpool components are frequently found in Hotpoint, Indesit, and Ariston machines.
The Mandatory 12NC Code
Whirlpool appliances often exist in multiple technical versions. To guarantee 100% fitment, the 12NC Service Code (beginning with 85...) is vital. Without this 12-digit number, accurate identification of internal revisions is nearly impossible.
The Price Advantage
Whirlpool genuine parts can be expensive. However, because they manufacture for numerous brands, we often identify high-quality compatible or cross-branded alternatives that are technically identical but significantly cheaper.
Verified Suitability
Whirlpool systems frequently hide subtle technical changes behind identical visual shells. Our standing advice: don’t order by image alone. Ask our specialists to verify your 12NC code against the factory diagrams to ensure a perfect fit first time.
Confirm Your Whirlpool Spares
Struggling to find the right part in the Whirlpool maze? Our technical team can cross-reference your 12NC code across the entire Beko Europe network to find the exact component you need.
