Having some difficulty finding a replacement light "circuit board" for my Vitrifrigo 2-drawer fridge.
Mine has gone dim. Fridge working perfectly otherwise. I was able to source one a few years ago from a US Vitrifrigo distributor for $110 - crazy price for what is essentially a light bulb with a built in switch. Model # was VF-R502.1093 This looks sort of like a circuit board and sits right below the control panel and illuminates the interior when the door opens. Anyone have a reasonable source for this?

For what it’s worth, maybe check to be sure you need one. I had a similar problem with mine and once I opened the panel, it turned out to be a loose wiring connector on the PCB.

You are correct. Faulty wiring was the issue.
When I previously defrosted the freezer, some water must have dripped into the fridge light fitting - and it rusted. One of the pins on the female connector on the board turned green and it has more or less dissolved. I had a local electronics shop solder two wires directly into the board, and I will hard wire it to the power supply in the fridge. Much cheaper than a new high priced replacement light/switch and connector from Vitrifrigo.
