Symptoms of a bad Micro Switch include:

• The ice or water dispenser not functioning  
• Intermittent operation of the dispenser 
• Stuck dispenser preventing ice or water from stopping

Causes of a bad Micro Switch can include physical damage from heavy use, wear and tear over time, or electrical issues such as short circuits that impair the switch's function.

The Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to detect when the refrigerator or freezer door is open or closed. This switch controls the interior light and ensures that the cooling system operates efficiently. 

Causes of a bad Door Switch can include mechanical wear from frequent use, electrical faults such as short circuits or burnt contacts, and physical damage from impact or mishandling of the refrigerator door.

Symptoms of a bad Door Switch include:

• The interior light not turning on when the door is opened or not turning off when the door is closed
• The refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
• The light staying on continuously
• The cooling system running continuously or not running at all due to incorrect signals from the switch

This limit switch monitors a set condition and opens or closes its contacts when that limit is reached. Replacing a failed switch restores proper safety cutoff and consistent operation of the appliance's heating or movement system. What it does:

• Senses a limit condition at its mounting point (such as temperature or travel/position, depending on model)
• Changes state at a defined threshold to protect components and wiring
• Interrupts power to heat or motor circuits, or signals a control to respond
• Common failure signs: no heat or shuts down early, runs continuously, won't start, or intermittent operation

• 1 limit switch

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Note wire positions; transfer connectors one at a time or take a photo for reference
• Reinstall in the original orientation so the actuator or sensing surface contacts the correct area
• Address root causes (blocked airflow, binding mechanisms, shorted components) to prevent repeat failures
