Manufacturer Part Number: WR23X37285

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.

Coop, A model number would be a great help, we would have been a lot more accurate. But, in general, the freezer door light switch perform two functions. When the freezer door is closed, the interior light is not illuminated, and power to the auger motor is supplied so you can dispense ice, if you have a dispenser system. When the door is open, power is supplied to the interior light and the bulb is illuminated, and power to the auger motor is eliminated, so the dispenser cannot dispense ice, and make a mess on the floor. If you have no dispenser, then the switch is a normally "open" switch if the door is closed there is no power supplied to the light socket. when the door is open and the switch circuit "closes" then power is supplied to the light socket and the bulb is illuminated.

Bill for Model Number PGCS1PJXCSS

The LED light panel stopped working. Since LED lights are supposed to last tens of thousands of hours, I removed the LED panel and hooked it up to a DC power source and found that the LED lights did light-up and therefore were not defective. Since the LED panel was confirmed to work, I tested the wires that lead to the LED panel for DC voltage with the doors open and found that there was no current. The door switches (it's a side by side fridge with two bottom freezer drawers) appear to be working normally as they properly sense when each door is open because the open door indicator flashes. Plus, if it were just one side of the double doors that didn't operate the light, it would clearly be a door switch, but it doesn't work when either side is opened. I'm not sure what else to check. Is it possible that it's the main board? Every other function is working properly, including the light in the freezer section. Thank you in advance.

Hello Bill, You will want to test the transformer to make sure that it is getting and sending power to the lights. The transformer is located behind unit in the machine compartment. If transformer is not getting power then you would want to replace the control board. If transformer is getting power but not sending power then replace transformer WR55X10944.
