I have an older VT 28 (looks like the new Edgestar 28) and the LED dome light just stopped working... I pulled the LED (mounted on a postage stamp sized circuit board) and nothing looks burnt? (Shown here by a penny for scale) Anyone have an issue with their dome light? How would I test it?

As well, there is a red LED in the cooler that never seems to ever light up... anyone know what purpose
it serves?
The cooler works perfect 'cept for the dome light issue.

That's solder.. doesn't look burnt to me.
As for testing it, you'd need to know the specs of the LED to properly apply a voltage to the + and - to test it.
And it'd have to be a DC votlage (ie. batteries)
EDIT: Nevermind.. almost looks like you have a rectifier circuit there leading into the LED...
EDIT2: Nevermind again.. Just looks like they soldered the holes closed so you didn't add anymore LED's.

I would start with testing to see if you have power where that plugs in. Find out what kind of voltage you are supposed to have then get a multimeter and test.
Most LED's I have seen have always been in the 3v range.

I was gonna say that most LEDs are either 1.5 or 3V... so you could just hook a battery or two up to it (NOT the 9V ones obviously)... the AAs would work great to test it...
