Symptoms of a bad door switch include: 

• The refrigerator fails to resume cooling after closing the door
• The inside light fails to turn on when the door is opened
• Abnormal energy usage due to improper door monitoring

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

• Helps maintain consistent temperatures and prevents frost buildup when functioning correctly
• Commonly replaced for symptoms like reduced airflow, unusual noise from the freezer, or visible damage to the blade
• Designed to fit the motor shaft and engage securely for reliable rotation

• One evaporator fan blade

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Remove interior panels and access the evaporator/fan compartment per your model's service instructions
• Slide the blade onto the motor shaft in the correct orientation; do not force or hammer — inspect the shaft and mounting hub for wear
