Electrolux Freezer Switch

The Door switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This part turns the light on/off as the door opens and closes.

Causes of a faulty door switch include normal wear of electrical contacts from repetitive on/off cycles. Moisture exposure may potentially corrode internal connections.

Symptoms of a bad light/switch include:

• The interior light fails to turn on when the door is opened
• The light stays on when the door is closed, leading to potential overheating
• An impact on the refrigerator’s temperature regulation due to the switch not signaling the door's closure

This Frigidaire OEM replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.

This micro switch detects door or lid position and tells the appliance when the door is closed so cycles can start or safety interlocks stay engaged. It restores reliable door sensing and helps prevent operation with the door open. What it does:

• Acts as a position sensor that completes or breaks the control circuit when the door/lid is closed or opened
• Keeps the appliance from starting or continuing a cycle if the door is open (safety interlock)
• Common symptom fix: appliance won't start, stops mid-cycle, or shows door-related error codes
• Small electrical switch designed to mount at the door latch or frame and connect to the appliance wiring harness

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before attempting service
• Access may require removing panels, trim, or the door latch assembly; keep track of screws and fasteners
• Observe wiring orientation and connector positions; replace exactly as removed or tag wires
