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. 

Symptoms of a failing Door Switch include:

  • 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

Hello John, the correct light switch for your model is W11291138. Disconnect power before attempting the repair. If you look at the picture you will see there is a retainer tab that holds the switch in. You need to release the tab by sliding a thin butter knife or blade as you pry outward. You will likely have to work your way around the switch to locate the release tab. Once released, you can disconnect the wires from the old switch and install the new one. Hope this helps!
