Customer Questions and Answers for Light Switch by Ge

Coop, A model number would be a great help, we would have been a lot more accurate. But, in general, the freezer door light switch perform two functions. When the freezer door is closed, the interior light is not illuminated, and power to the auger motor is supplied so you can dispense ice, if you have a dispenser system. When the door is open, power is supplied to the interior light and the bulb is illuminated, and power to the auger motor is eliminated, so the dispenser cannot dispense ice, and make a mess on the floor. If you have no dispenser, then the switch is a normally "open" switch if the door is closed there is no power supplied to the light socket. when the door is open and the switch circuit "closes" then power is supplied to the light socket and the bulb is illuminated.
