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.

Questions & Answers

For Ge Light Switch (Part Number: OEM21056175)

1 Answer

Cannon, with the door open, the main control WR55X46805 can be tested for 12VDC from connection J14 pin 6 to pin 7. If voltage is not present, the main control would be the likely cause of failure. If voltage is present, one of the LEDs WR55X25754 have a short and is kicking the other LEDs out. This can be checked for by taping the door switches down and removing one LED. After the LED is disconnected, a jumper wire can be put into the cabin harness to bypass the light. One of the door switches can be lifted to the open position and if the lights illuminate properly, that specific LED has failed. If the lights do not illuminate, the door switch would need to be taped down again and the LED put back in place. This process can be done for each light to identify where the failure would be.

Henry, this light switch will work for your model. However, the model number provided does not appear to be a complete number. If the last four letters are XBBB then this switch will match completely. If the letters are SBBB then the switch WR23X353 would match. The difference between the two is one is a white finish while the other is a black finish.
