The Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This switch is crucial for controlling the interior lights and the activation of certain refrigerator functions when the door is opened or closed.

  • Interior lights staying on when the refrigerator door is closed
  • Interior lights not turning on when the door is opened
  • The refrigerator unexpectedly starting or stopping
  • Alarms or indicators malfunctioning, signaling an open door when it is closed

Causes of a bad door switch can involve mechanical failure due to wear and tear from frequent use, damage from impacts (such as slamming the door), or electrical issues like a short circuit or faulty wiring.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Answer

Victor, First check the freezer door liner, where the liner activates the light switch, make sure it is still straight and "full". If the liner has shrunk or collapsed, it wont activate the light switch properly and you have intermittent dispenser and interior light operation. if the liner is OK then replace the switch W11396033. If the liner is shrunk, etc. you can try and use a small 1X1 in. square foam pad(available at the local hardware store or home improvement center, adhere it to the door liner in the area of the door switch, or replace the switch and install the pad, it will reduce the possibility of a door/door liner replacement.
