Parts for Whirlpool 3ET18DKXXN00: 04 - Compartment Separator Parts

The Light Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This switch is responsible for controlling the refrigerator's interior light, turning it on when the door is opened and off when it is closed.

Symptoms of a failing refrigerator light switch include:

• The interior light staying on when the refrigerator door is closed
• The light not activating when the refrigerator door is opened
• Intermittent or flickering light due to a loose connection or faulty switch

Causes of light switch failure typically involve mechanical wear from repeated use, accumulation of dirt or debris that can interfere with the switch mechanism, or electrical issues such as short circuits.

This OEM part is also compatible with other brands manufactured by Whirlpool, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and others.
