4055612131 Genuine Fridge Pilot Lamp 15W 240V E27 Edison Screw Pygmy Globe for Westinghouse Fridges

This is a genuine Electrolux pilot lamp, part 4055612131, used as the interior light globe in Westinghouse fridges. It's a small pygmy style globe rated at 15W and 240V, with a standard E27 Edison screw cap. If the light inside your fridge no longer comes on when you open the door, and your old globe has the same small shape and screw base, 4055612131 is the matching replacement.

Westinghouse fridge light not working?

The pilot lamp sits behind the light cover in the fresh food section and is switched by the door switch every time the door opens. A blown globe is the most common reason a fridge goes dark inside, and it's the cheapest thing to rule out first. Look for a broken filament or blackened glass on the old one. If a new globe still won't light, the door switch or the wiring to the lamp holder is the next thing to test. Stick with the 15W rating rather than fitting something brighter, since extra wattage means extra heat inside the cabinet.

Changing the fridge globe

Turn the fridge off at the wall before touching the lamp, as the holder carries mains voltage. Unclip or unscrew the light cover, let the old globe cool, then unscrew it anticlockwise. Screw the new lamp in by hand until it's snug, without forcing it. Refit the cover, switch the power back on and open the door to check it lights.

Questions about this part

Can I use a normal E27 household globe instead?

A household globe is usually too big for the light cover and runs at a higher wattage. This pilot lamp keeps the small pygmy size and the 15W rating the fridge light housing was designed around.

How do I know this is the right globe?

Take out your old lamp and compare it. It should be a small pygmy globe with an E27 screw base marked 15W 240V. If yours has a smaller E14 base or a bayonet cap, you need a different lamp.
