Why is there a light in my fridge but not in the freezer?

The temperature in the freezer is to low to use a light bulb. It would freeze up when not on and when turned on the bulb would shatter at there would be a large temperature difference between the inside of the bulb and the outside.

I have a light in the freezer. I guess they don't normally put them in because you don't use the freezer as often as the fridge part. Especially, since they have the ice through the door now on most of the ice boxes. Time to trade up. Good luck.

It is based on the amount of time you spend in the freezer versus the fridge. Mine has a light but I'm sure that made it cost more.

Because all the stuff you nibble on in the middle of the night lives in the fridge, and not the freezer.

Except for ice-cream, but that's a sit down with a spoon job so you'd probably put the kitchen light on for that.

Well my freezer does have a light, however the original idea was that if you went for a midnight snack, you would see what you were going for, without putting the kitchen light on, but you were unlikely to eat a frozen chicken from the freezer at 2am! (There was always the ice cream I suppose.)

This is one of lives great mysteries, they all seem to be like that. You could try contacting one of the fridge/freezer manufactures, they might know, but maybe not. I expect they have a reason.

Don't make sense does it, perhaps it's coz you wanna spend less time in the freezer lol

because the guy who designed the the fridge was stoned

Ambient temperatures could possibly effect the gases in a small bulb, in a small appliance.

Well... must be an oldies fridge lol. We have a light.
