Stephen W Selden , NY April 12, 2015 Appliance: Model 795.78279.901 My kenmore fridge light was flickering and eventually went out all together it was not the light bulb I did some research online a saw this was a common problem. The part was cheap enough and looked easy to get at and fix myself. The service fee from Sears would have been $80. I ordered the part by fridge model number. I slid a hard plastic putty knife under the switch and popped it out. I used plyers to remove the switch from the wire casing. I had to bend the plastic tabs on the old piece a little to unattached it. Once off the new piece snapped right in. Works perfect. Part and shipping was under $10. My husband was so proud!

James D Worcester , MA October 14, 2014 Appliance: Kenmore Refrigerator 79568279900 Faulty interior light switch To remove the switch lift the right end away from cabinet with a flat head screwdriver then grip it with a pair of needle nose pliers. While holding it with needle nose pliers push the clamp to the left with a flat head screwdriver and pull the switch out with the needle nose pliers. Move the 2 small locking tabs away from the switch to remove the connector. Align and plug connector into new switch, press it into the rectangular opening with the large plastic clip facing the door of the fridge until it snaps flush with the refridgerator wall. Takes approx. 15 minutes. Read More... 39 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
Kenneth L Waynesboro , MS April 06, 2014 Appliance: Model MODEL 795-76202.901 The light did not come on when the door was opened I replaced the light switch. I did have a little problem though. Before a ordered the first switch, I watched the video that you provided on your web site. When tried to remove the old switch, it showed the little lever on top of the switch that holds it in. I tried to pry the top of the switch, and broke part o the switch plate off. That was when I really looked at the switch I received, and found that it was not the same as the one that I was trying to remove (size wise). That was when I sent that one back and re-ordered another switch. When I received the new switch, I could see that the little lever was on the end of mine. 60 seconds later, I had a switch installed that worked. Other than that, it was a piece of cake.

Carla P Keller , TX July 14, 2015 Appliance: LG Refrigerator LFC25770ST The refrigerator/freezer stopped cooling and the beeping alarm that indicates a door is not closed all the way was beeping The alarm beeped for two days before I figured out that the light switch in the freezer was the problem. The light bulb- I thought - had burned out a long time ago, but it was actually frozen to where the light just would not come on. Apparently the freezer door had been left open long enough to thaw out the switch and now the light was working. Problem was that now it wasn't turning off even when the door closed. This was telling the unit that the door was open, hence the continuous beeping for two days, and it stops running if any of the doors are open. Ordered the new switch, watched the video several times at repair clinic.com as they were demonstrating my exact model, and was able to change out the switch and unit working perfectly. I used a flat spackle/putty knife to push in from the front of the switch to move the locking tab back in order to pull down the switch, which I held with a pair of needle nose pliers in order to get a good grip. I also ordered new gaskets/seals for both french doors as they were torn at both the top and bottom and I figured that would be the next problem. Also watched the video from repair clinic (same model) and easily replaced both. Thank you appliance parts pros.com!
