Parts for Whirlpool JWARG483WP01: 13 - Control 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.

This is a small replacement screw used to fasten appliance panels and internal components, restoring secure connections and reducing rattles or loose parts. Ideal when original screws are missing or damaged. What it does:

• Secures access panels, mounting brackets, or internal assemblies to prevent vibration and movement
• Helps maintain electrical and mechanical connections by keeping components properly aligned
• Common fix for loose control panels, trim pieces, or internal module attachments

• One replacement screw as shown

• Use the matching driver (Phillips, hex, or Torx) and hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten until snug; do not over-torque to prevent stripping or cracking surrounding material
• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal parts to avoid injury
• If the original screw is corroded or broken, replace with the same type and length for best fit

Symptoms of a bad Cold Control include:

• The refrigerator or freezer is too warm or too cold
• Frequent or continuous running of the refrigerator's compressor
• Inability to start the cooling system

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

• Replaces cracked, worn, broken, loose, or missing knobs that make temperature adjustments difficult.
• Restores a visible pointer/indicator for accurate temperature selection.
• Improves grip and tactile feedback for safer, easier temperature changes.

• Turn appliance controls OFF and cool before replacing the knob.
• Remove the old knob by pulling it straight off the control shaft; align the new knob splines with the shaft and push on until fully seated.
