Answer:

Purchase Light Bulbs

Purchase replacement light bulbs from a hardware store locally, a web retailer, or a Factory Certified Parts Distributor.

Refer to table below for the types of bulb needed for each model.

Replace Light Bulbs

For instructions to replace the light bulbs, see:

If the lights do not work after replacing the bulbs, there may be an issue with the light switch. See Refrigerator or Freezer Light Switch Information.

Light Bulb Type and Part Numbers

The original bulb or socket may be 75 watts. However, Sub-Zero recommends a 40-watt replacement light bulb.

  • Sub-Zero does not recommend using a bulb greater than 40 watts.
  • Using a lower watt bulb than Sub-Zero recommends will not harm the unit. However, the lighting may be noticeably different.

Sub-Zero 500 and 600 Series refrigerator light bulbs are not blue tinted, and the blue tinted bulbs in Classic (Formerly Built-In) models will not work in 500 or 600 Series units.
