I have a Frigoboat fridge from 2001. The little light that comes on when the door is opened stopped working. It is the switch and not the bulb! I asked about a replacement and was told that Frigoboat no longer had that switch and was offered an LED strip with switch at £130 + VAT + P&P.
After some investigation I found that the switch is known as a Candy lamp holder and bought one from ebay for £11 Candy Lamp Holder 92744457 | eBay
I removed the broken lamp holder by drilling out the rivet. The replacement is admittedly 3 pole rather than 2, but this is not a major problem. I secured the lamp holder in place with a screw and nut rather than a rivet.
Happy to have saved £120!
