I am also a Canuck so I know that we get short changed by companies when it comes to information. After some searching yours may be like the following, I hope!! Replacement parts for General Electric TCD18PADARWW Refrigerator \| AppliancePartsPros.com It shows a magnetic pad (Item 170 in Section 2). Looks like it is at the bottom of the fresh food door in the center. Also a reed switch (Item 18 in Section 3) in the units divider. I think the magnet opens the reed switch when the door is closed. Check that the pad is there. You could also run a magnet along the bottom of the fresh food frame to see if the switch will shut off the light.
