The Light Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It controls the interior light, turning it on when the refrigerator door is opened and off when the door is closed. This ensures proper illumination for visibility when accessing the refrigerator's contents.
A malfunctioning light switch can result from wear and tear, electrical issues, or damage caused by repeated use. Over time, the internal mechanism may fail, or the housing can crack, leading to improper operation.
Symptoms of a bad light switch include:
- Interior light not turning on when the door is opened
- Light staying on even when the door is closed
- Flickering or inconsistent light operation
- Difficulty pressing or releasing the switch
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Refrigerator light switch broken. W W. • Bettendorf , IA • April 20, 2020
I ordered a new switch from APP and fixed my fridge.
However, the video posted for this repair on this site is not applicable to newer refrigerator models.
I have a 2015 GE GTE18IHCRSS and had to drop the control housing (#432 in the diagram) to attach the wire/plug assembly to the switch. Only had to remove the front screw with a 1/4" nut driver and that provided enough of a gap for me to plug in the switch.
So the correct method to replace the light switch in a newer model refrigerator is as...

- Dim or no light illuminating inside refrigerator shelves
- Shadows and dark spots making it difficult to find items
- Higher utility costs from leaving the door open to see inside
This bulb is also compatible with refrigerators from brands like Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Nothing worked except the light :) Przemyslaw B. • Wallington , NJ • September 20, 2014
I changed the motherboard - computer and also changed the motor in the freezer, because it was doing a howling sound every time it turned on. The repair technician asked for $500 for a repair and that is on top of the $230 I paid him two days before. I looked up the parts and decided to try myself and it paid off. Great instructional videos. Thanks

Side by side fridge had stopped cooling in both fridge and freezer and was hot to touch in center between the two Robert P. • King , NC • August 11, 2015
I googled the issue and read several articles. Most started with cleaning the coils (which mine are on the bottom) (19yr old Kenmore 363.9557812). I had not really ever cleaned them well, vacuuming did little. I had to remove the cardboard cover off the back of the frig, and blew them clean (front to back). Once that was done, I started cleaning from the back and noticed the fan wasn't turning week (condensor fan). Blew it out too, have it a good soon with a pencil, it puffed out a bunch of...

The refrig was too warm Michael F. • Belvidere , IL • September 02, 2016
When I looked on the Appliance Parts Pro website it said the usual fix for a refrig that is not cooling is to replace the defrost thermostat in the freezer. I didn't see how that would keep the refrig from cooling but I figured I would try it.
Got the part yesterday ( two days shipping which was great!). I took the panel off the back of the freezer and the coils were all covered in solid ice! it took me an hour with a heat gun to melt the ice.
I changed the defrost thermostat and now the...

The defrost heater warms the evaporator during automatic defrost cycles to remove frost and ice, restoring airflow and cooling. Replacing a failed heater helps prevent frost buildup and maintain more consistent temperatures throughout the refrigerator.
- Melts frost from the evaporator coil during scheduled defrost cycles
- Helps maintain airflow and cooling performance between compartments
- Failure may cause heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator cover
- Can lead to reduced cooling, long run times, or fan noise from ice contact
What's included: One defrost heater. Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing; wear appropriate gloves.
- Remove freezer shelves/ice maker as needed and the rear panel to access the evaporator area.
- Defrost any ice buildup and avoid damaging evaporator fins or wiring.
- Reuse original mounting hardware/clips as needed; check the defrost thermostat and control if frost issues continue.
