Maytag Switch

This is a refrigerator door switch. It signals the control when a door is opened or closed to turn interior lights on/off and may pause certain functions. Replacing a faulty switch restores proper lighting and door-activated operation.

• Senses door open/close to control interior lighting
• A failed switch can cause lights to stay on, never come on, or flicker
• May also affect features that depend on door status
• Common signs include no interior light or light remaining on with door closed

• Unplug power before servicing
• Access the switch at the door jamb; gently pry out the old switch
• Transfer and reconnect wiring one terminal at a time to the new switch
• Ensure the switch seats flush and test door operation before closing up

This replacement door switch restores proper door sensing in your refrigerator. It detects when the fresh food or freezer door opens and closes, turning interior lights on/off and signaling the control so door-ajar alerts and related features work correctly. What it does:

• Senses door position to control interior lighting
• Sends door status to the control in many models for features like door-ajar alerts or fan pause
• Helps prevent overheating near the light by ensuring it turns off when the door is closed
• Common symptoms of failure: no interior light, light stays on, flickering light, or persistent door-ajar alarm

• 1 door switch

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Carefully release the old switch from the cabinet opening and unplug the wire harness
• Connect the harness to the new switch, orient correctly, and snap or seat it fully in the opening
• Restore power and verify proper light operation and door-ajar indication

The fan control switch is the panel-mounted switch that sends power to the appliance's fan motor. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable on/off control and proper airflow so the fan starts and stops when it should.

• Provides user-operated on/off power to the fan/blower motor
• Helps regulate airflow for cooling, venting, or convection depending on model
• Typical symptoms: fan won't run, runs continuously, intermittent operation, or a loose/broken switch shaft
