Zusammenfassung:	Methods and apparatus to determine home appliance cabinet temperatures using light emitting diodes (LEDs) are disclosed. An example home appliance includes a cabinet, a lighting system disposed in the cabinet having one or more LEDs to provide lighting in the interior of the cabinet, and a circuit electrically coupled to the lighting system and programmed to determine a temperature inside the cabinet based on a characteristic of the one or more LEDs of the lighting system.
