Gibson Switch

This is a factory switch used in the appliance's control/safety circuit. Replacing a worn or failed switch restores reliable signaling so the selected function engages properly and the unit responds consistently to user inputs and status conditions.

• Provides an electrical on/off signal to the control or safety circuit
• If faulty, selected functions may not activate or may be intermittent
• Can trigger error codes related to a switch input, depending on model

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off gas/water if applicable
• Note/photograph wire locations and transfer connectors one at a time
• Verify actuator alignment and secure mounting before reassembly
• After installation, run a test cycle to confirm proper operation

This replacement switch restores reliable on/off control for a specific function in the appliance, helping the selected feature respond consistently when operated.

• Controls electrical power to a designated circuit or component when actuated
• Sends an on/off signal to the control or directly to the component it operates
• Failure symptoms can include no response, intermittent operation, or a switch that feels loose, sticks, or is hard to press
• May show signs of heat damage, arcing, or a burning smell near the control area when faulty

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access location varies by model; remove the control panel, backguard, or front panel as needed
• Label or photograph wire positions and transfer them one at a time to the new switch
• After reassembly, restore power and test operation of the associated function

This pressure switch senses pressure changes and signals the appliance control to start or stop functions, helping restore proper operation when pressure-based controls fail. It's a direct-replacement style switch used in compatible Frigidaire appliances. What it does:

• Detects and closes or opens an electrical circuit based on air or water pressure changes
• Signals the control board to advance cycles or enable components (pump, valve, blower)
• Common symptom indicator: appliance won't complete cycles or responds inconsistently when pressure-controlled
• Helps stop operation when pressure limits are reached to protect system components

• One pressure switch

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting work
• Handle the switch and its terminals with care; avoid bending pins or cracking the housing
• Inspect and replace any associated tubing or fittings that are cracked or clogged

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

A push-button switch that restores user control functions by completing or breaking electrical circuits. Replaces a worn or failed control switch to help restore normal operation and user input response. What it does:

• Acts as the user-operated control input to start or stop a function when pressed
• Opens or closes the electrical circuit that enables the associated control or feature
• Common symptom: unresponsive controls or functions that do not start when buttons are pressed
• May cause intermittent operation or no response if contacts are worn or corroded

• One replacement push-button switch

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service
• Use appropriate tools and basic electrical safety; avoid bending terminals or forcing the new part into place

This pressure switch is a replaceable pressure-sensing control that tells the appliance when system pressure has reached a set level so the unit can advance through cycles correctly. Installing a working switch restores reliable pressure-based control. What it does:

• Senses system air/water pressure and sends a signal to the control board
• Helps the appliance detect fill, drain or airflow conditions used to advance cycles
• Common symptom: appliance shows pressure or fill-related errors or fails to progress through cycles
• Can correct intermittent or no-response behavior when the original switch is faulty

• One pressure switch

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before servicing
• Remove and replace only with the exact matching part number
• Handle vacuum/pressure tubing carefully; ensure airtight connections
• Verify operation with a multimeter or by following OEM test procedures

This compressor start capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor get up to speed for reliable cooling. It replaces a failed start device to restore normal compressor startup and reduce hard-starting or long-run cycles. What it does:

• Provides the extra torque the compressor motor needs to start.
• Helps prevent long crank times, loud humming, or repeated start attempts.
• Can reduce stress on the compressor and starting relay when functioning properly.
• Commonly replaced when the fridge won't start or cooling is intermittent.

• One replacement capacitor.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock.
• Verify terminal connections and mount orientation match the original part.

This capacitor helps start and run the refrigerator's compressor and/or fan motors so the appliance cools reliably. Replaces a worn or failed capacitor to restore normal motor operation and reduce hard-starting. What it does:

• Provides the initial electrical boost motors need to start turning
• Helps maintain steady motor speed during operation
• Commonly linked to symptoms like compressors that hum but don't start
• Needed if refrigerator cycles frequently or cooling is inconsistent

• One capacitor

• Disconnect power before accessing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock
• Verify wiring and terminal orientation before reconnecting
