I measured the voltage across the two wires where I unplugged the door light switch. The refrigerator was plugged in. I was surprised to read 32 volts a/c and not 120. Was that a normal voltage for older whirlpools? The bulb that I removed did have an open filament and it is a GE 120 v 40 watt bulb.
