A socket for a refrigerator lamp has a body with a chamber to receive the base of the lamp. The chamber side wall is threaded to engage the lamp base threads. An inclined ramp between the threads and the bottom of the chamber engages the lamp base to provide a positive stop when the base is completely in the socket. A first terminal in the socket has a contact portion radially inside the ramp to engage the lamp base just before the base engages the ramp. A second terminal in the socket has a resilient arm to engage a contact in the distal end of the base just before the base engages the ramp. A tab in the bottom of the chamber closely underlies the resilient finger to prevent permanent deformation of the finger. An enclosure wall extends out from the open end of the chamber and closely surrounds a lamp inserted in the socket to assure that the user will not touch the lamp base while either electrical terminal engages the base. The socket fits in an opening in the refrigerator liner and includes a flange engaging the liner around the opening. An arm extends from the socket body and engages the opposite side of the liner than the flange. The arm and a mating opening in the flange are so narrow that only a tool narrower than a person's finger can be used to release the socket.
