Wendell November 21, 2016 for Model Number FGUN2642LF1 Hi, My Frigidaire Fridge is five year old. I just found out the light in the French door cabinet is on all the time even when the door is closed completely. It causes a burnt mark left on the wall and the light bulbs burnt very often. Can you show me (with a picture) where is the switch is located and how much to get a new switch shipped to my home in Markham, Ont. Your prompt reply is much appreciated. Tx
1 Answer Wendell, On non-dispenser models, the fresh food compartment light switch is part of the UI board mounted in the left fresh food door. It is controlled by a magnet in the right fresh food door. On Non-Dispenser models the light switch is part of the UI board. First check that the UI board lights up when the door is opened. If it does not light up, check the magnet in the right food door. Place a steel tool on the edge of the right food door. The magnet operates the light control on the UI board. If the magnet holds the tool check the connections on the UI board and the lower control board. Read More...
Stephanie September 22, 2014 for Model Number GLHS68EJSB0 The light does not come on when the fridge side door opens but it will come on if someone pushes the light switch in and releases it manually. Would this be fixed if we bought a new switch or are we looking at a bigger problem with wiring?
1 Answer Hello Stephanie. Yes, it sounds like the switch is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Vic June 22, 2013 for Model Number Fridgidaire plht217tak2 I am having the same light switch problem. The switch jambs against the door when it closes, holding it open. We replaced with new switch-same problem. Help!
1 Answer Vic, It sounds as though your door may need to be raised a little to correct this issue. This can be done by adding hinge washers 240311303 under the door on the hinge. You may need to use 2 or 3 to get the door in the proper position. Read More...

Lane B. May 18, 2011 for Model Number FRT21HR6AB3 I need to replace the light switch. The door had fallen off and had broken the old one. The hinge is replaced, the door is fine, and I don't know how to replace the switch. Does it come with instructions? Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Lane! Your light switch part number is 240505801. You can use a putty knife to gently pry out the old switch from its location. Be sure not to damage the refrigerator liner. The new light switch will plug into its place. Hope this helps! Read More...
