The bulb socket may have corrosion on contacts. Disconnect all power to unit and then clean out contacts to restore operation. Make sure that bulb is also fully inserted.
Probably the door switch. With the fridge unplugged, remove the door switch (pry out with a screwdriver), short the two wires (leave the door open). Plug in the fridge and if the light is on, it's the switch.
Moisture can contribute to a bit of rusting at the point where contact is made between bulb and socket. Unplug fridge. Use a small piece of fine-grit sandpaper on the socket where the bulb will connect and then spray a tiny amount of WD40 to the socket. Let it dry for a few minutes. Replug your fridge and screw in the bulb. This works for fridge lights too and I've noticed whenever I have something like a cut melon in the fridge which causes condensation then my bulbs will go out and I have to do this sand and spray thing.
there's a light or door switch that could be bad,look around and you'll see a switch that the door hits to turn the lights on and off,i've seen people put the bulbs in cross threaded i remove the bulb thread it in and it works try removing the bulb and put it back in again,also if you unplug the machine and stick your finger into the socket there's a metal tab in there that touches the bulb if that is pushed in to far it won't touch the bulb to work bend that out a little and try it again,all there is is the bulb the socket and the switch and the switches are pretty reliable,they're located on the side or up top where the door closes in on the machine
IF THE WIRES SHORTED, AND THE DOOR WAS REPLACED,
WAS IT COMPLETE OR WAS THE DISPENSER ASSEMBLY TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW DOOR? IF THE ASSEMBLY ISN'T NEW, THE CONTROL BOARD IN THE ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED FROM THE WIRE SHORT.
