Carlos for Model Number Amana ARB9059CS

How do I remove the light switch for the top refrigerator section (not freezer) on the Amana ARB9059CS? The video and instructions you have seem to suggest it can just be "pulled out". But if I don't recall wrong it seems like in my fridge the switch is under that entire top assembly, and the entire assembly needs to be removed in order to gain access to the switch. I can not check the fridge right now, but that is what I remember. Do you have the instructions on how to remove that entire top section assembly? Thanks!

Answer

Carlos, You would need to remove the assembly to get the light switch out. Here are the instructions on doing so: 1. Carefully pry with taped putty knife, pry the front of the light bulb assembly to release tabs. 2. The whole light assembly will drop down. 3. Disconnect the wiring to the light switch. 4. Squeeze tabs on back side of switch to release it from assembly.
