I took the clear cover off the light. I noticed it had condensation on it. Havn't heard a beep since!

It gets in through the channel the wires run in, they are sometimes poorly sealed as they come into the fridge box.. Dielectric grease will protect the connections at the light, a squirt of silicone in the channel will stop the moist air infiltration.

I looked at that. Dialectic gel, or bulb grease. Will silicone work?

Thankfully it quit on it's own. Maybe it dried out.

I apologize for not having a picture handy, I am camping, and working from my phone, but the interior light pops out from the wall, and the connector on the back needs to be cleaned and dried, the channel the wires run in should be cleaned, dried, and sealed with a dab of silicone before reassembly. That should take care of it.
