Kenmore Elite Switch

This micro switch is a compact, snap-action electrical switch that sends an on/off signal when a lever, latch, or paddle is moved. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable detection and control response for the affected function.

• Converts mechanical movement into an electrical open/close signal to the control
• Commonly used for lever/paddle actuators, latches, or interlock detection within the appliance
• Safe symptom clues: no response when actuated, intermittent operation, or a function stuck on/off
• Physical clues: weak or absent "click" when pressed, heat discoloration or damage at terminals

• Disconnect power before servicing; if the product is connected to a water line, close the supply valve
• Note wire positions and terminal labels (COM/NO/NC); transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals
• Match the actuator orientation and mounting position to the original for proper operation
• After installation, verify continuity with a multimeter and test function before reassembly

Oven light not turning on when door opens? This door-activated switch detects door position and controls interior lighting. Easy push-in installation.

The Door Switch is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is responsible for detecting whether the refrigerator door is open or closed, allowing the appliance to control the interior light and, in some models, the cooling functions accordingly.

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, electrical issues, or physical damage to the switch mechanism. A faulty door switch can lead to improper operation of the refrigerator's light or cooling system, affecting overall performance.

Symptoms of a bad door switch include:

• Interior light not turning on or off properly
• Refrigerator not cooling properly or running continuously
• Door alarm not functioning correctly
• Intermittent or unresponsive switch operation

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.
