Description

This small permanent magnet is used in supported refrigerator assemblies to actuate a mating reed switch or metal keeper. It helps the appliance recognize a closed position or hold a light cover/door closed for proper operation. What it does:

• Works with a reed switch or ferrous keeper to provide position sensing or magnetic latching
• Helps ensure features dependent on closed position operate correctly
• Can resolve issues where a small cover or door won't stay closed
• Address erratic "door ajar" indications tied to magnetic sensing

What's included: 1 magnet Install notes:

• Disconnect power and water before servicing
• Note the original magnet's location and orientation; polarity matters for proper operation
• Seat the magnet fully in its pocket or holder and align with the mating switch/keeper
• Test the related function before reassembling panels and trim
