General Electric Refrigerator Switch

The Dispenser Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This switch is crucial for the functionality of the water and ice dispenser, as it activates the dispensing mechanism when the user presses the lever or button. The switch ensures that the refrigerator dispenses water or ice on demand, providing convenience and ease of use.

Over time, the dispenser switch can wear out or become damaged due to frequent use, exposure to moisture, or electrical issues. This can result in the switch failing to activate the dispenser properly, impacting the performance of the refrigerator's dispensing system.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser switch include:

• The water or ice dispenser not responding when the lever or button is pressed
• Intermittent or inconsistent dispensing of water or ice
• The dispenser working only occasionally or requiring excessive pressure to activate
• No audible click or feedback when pressing the dispenser lever or button

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Light Switch is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It controls the refrigerator's interior light, turning it on when the door is opened and off when the door is closed. This ensures energy efficiency and convenience, illuminating the refrigerator's interior for easy visibility while searching for items.

Causes of a bad light switch include mechanical wear from constant use, damage from an impact, or electrical issues.

Symptoms of a bad Light Switch include:

• The interior light does not turn on when the refrigerator door is opened
• The light stays on when the door is closed, potentially leading to overheating or melted plastic components in the light housing area
• Intermittent functioning of the light, indicating a loose or damaged switch

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This refrigerator switch actuator is the small linkage that presses a microswitch when the matching lever or door moves. Replacing a worn or broken actuator helps restore reliable response when you press the control or close the door.

• Engages the microswitch when the associated lever or mechanism is pressed
• Transfers motion from the user control to trigger the intended function
• Helps maintain proper alignment for consistent switch engagement
• Common clues it's failing: no response unless pressed hard, intermittent operation, or visible damage/missing piece

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing; also turn off the water supply
• Note the actuator's orientation and take a quick photo before removal
• Use small tools to release locking tabs; avoid prying against the microswitch or wiring
• After installation, manually press the actuator to confirm the switch clicks and responds before reassembly

This freezer door light switch turns the interior freezer light on and off when the door opens and closes, restoring proper illumination so you can see contents clearly and avoid wasting food. What it does:

• Activates the freezer interior light when the door opens; deactivates it when the door closes.
• Replaces a worn, stuck or intermittent switch that causes the light to stay on, not turn on, or flicker.
• Fits into the door or cabinet frame mounting and connects to the existing wiring harness for direct replacement.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to prevent shock.
• Typically snaps into place and connects to the factory wiring harness; no special parts required.

Replacement refrigerator door light switch that turns the interior lamp on and off as the door opens and closes. Restores reliable interior lighting and prevents the lamp from staying on or failing to illuminate. What it does:

• Acts as the door-activated switch that opens or closes the lamp circuit when the door is opened or shut
• Commonly replaces a switch when the interior light won't come on
• Also used when the light stays on, flickers, or does not respond to door movement
• Fits into the cabinet or door frame and connects to the refrigerator's lamp wiring

• Disconnect power (unplug the appliance or turn off the circuit) before starting
• Access the switch by removing the light housing or the necessary trim/panel; keep track of fasteners
• Note or photograph wire connections before removing the switch to ensure correct reassembly

This master light switch kit replaces the main oven light switch assembly so the oven light turns on and off reliably. Designed for direct-fit replacement to restore normal oven lighting control. What it does:

• Replaces the oven's master light switch assembly that controls interior lighting
• Restores the ability to turn the oven/cabinet light on and off
• Helps eliminate flickering, intermittent operation, or complete light failure
• Works with existing wiring and mounting points for a straightforward swap

• One master light switch kit (assembly) as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Basic hand tools required; follow OEM wiring and grounding instructions
• Verify proper operation after installation before returning appliance to service

This strike switch is a door-latch sensing switch that completes the circuit when the door is closed, ensuring the appliance detects latch position and enables associated functions. It replaces a worn or failed switch to restore proper door sensing. What it does

• Detects when the door latch/strike engages and sends the on/off signal to the appliance control
• Prevents functions that require a closed door from running when the door is open
• Commonly fails from wear or corrosion on contacts or broken actuator
• Symptoms of failure: appliance functions not starting, interior light or controls not responding, or door-dependent features not operating

• One strike switch

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work to avoid shock
• Access typically requires removing a door panel or control housing; retain all fasteners and note wire locations
• Disconnect wiring harness and replace with same-terminal connections; do not force connectors
• Test door operation and related functions after reassembly
