Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Door Switch by Whirlpool

Hello Steve, The door switch has a "clip", which is visible on the page showing the part. I use a paint scraper as this displaces the pressure so you're less likely to damage the liner during the removal process. Be sure to turn the power off to the unit or simply unplug it. Hook the paint scraper under the side that has the large clip on it and pry it carefully out. The 2 wires on the old switch connect to the new switch.
