Well, I tried the FLIR and night vision and they did not work. I decided to get back to basics and simply change the bulbs.
What a nightmare!
Difficult to work around the plastic bulb guard... Impossible to remove these crappy pieces of plastic. The bulbs were stuck quite a bit in the socket. Figured I would likely break a bulb and cut a digit with the broken glass (that is something I seem to do often).
My assessment is that these refrigerators are designed like this to keep repairmen in business.
I had repeated thoughts of "How many (fill in the blanks) are needed to change a light bulb. One of the dogs kept licking my ear as I struggled.
Eventually the darn thing came loose and I got them out and put new ones in.
My friend from work told me that he had an old refrigerator that needed a new bulb, realized the machine was old and clapped out, and just got a new refrigerator!! That guy has huge amounts of money and buys stuff impulsively.
The task is done.. It took about an hour and half and I actually broke a sweat working in front of an open refrigerator.
I need staff for these types of things, but really, most of my home repair/improvement projects never go well!
Several years ago, I was dealing with a dripping faucet in a bathroom. That fix ended with me completely gutting the place, moving walls, installing new everything, pulling power, pipes, building crazy ceilings.
My life seems to be summed up with changing a light bulb.
Very sad.....
