Light for water dispenser not working

I know my bulb is OK. Everything works on my GE GSL22JFZBLB side-by-side , except for my water dispenser light. I tested the socket with my multimeter and no juice at the socket. Looking to get behind the socket, I was able to remove the front control panel, removed the wires from the board, but the frame behind the control board refuses to come loose. I do not wish to damage it trying to get at the wiring going to the bulb socket....... what should I try? TIA

Dean Stewart, The bulb socket when dispensing water is switched on, this is when the socket would be live, did you test when socket was on/ test bulb to verify OK.

The first link shows parts break down of the freezer door and others. From the break down it looks like the bulb socket may just pop out, it has 2 plastic retaining tabs on each side you can gently pry out by pushing/release and remove socket with small slotted screw driver. Could not find your particular service guide, but did put a link to one that may help along with a couple other links that may help.

Good luck.

I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Hello L P, and thank you for the response. My unit has a 'light' button on the front of it like my previous model Frigidaire and there was no current in both switch positions. I also triggered the ice dispenser with my wrist while testing as well. I am starting to think this may be a larger wiring issue as the main display has a series of LED's to illuminate the front board. These LED's are unlit as well. I may need to trace wiring back to the door connection. The video shows taking out the 4 screws attaching the tan board mounting plate to the main dispenser area. My 4 screws come out, but the tan colored backplate is still locked in by something near the light assembly and will not come out.

Dean Stewart, I have looked it over and over and also stumped, could the trim be popped off to expose and screws or perhaps the interior of door has to be removed to access scres from that side, sorry not real sure on this one.
