Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Light Switch (Part Number: OEM20408013)

Dan for Model Number 596.52673200

My Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator water/ice dispenser is acting up. It acts like it has a loose wire. The light that shows water or ice selection comes on and off with the door fully closed. I assume that it's the door light switch. It is a 3 prong switch with the following stamped on it. EMB 604 50E3 u 2.5/250 5A-125 VAC 2.5A-250VAC C NO NC I held the switch completely depressed and the issue persisted. Any ideas and if it's the switch, what replacement part will work?

Dan, The issue described could be a door switch, wiring, or even a board. You would need to check the switch with a meter to determine if it is functioning properly or not. W11396033 https://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-switch-rocker-arm-w11396033-ap6973145.html

Dan, You would need to remove the switch by getting on one side and push the tab to release it. Use a small flatblade screwdriver for this.

Hello John, This is not a usual condition. You will need to turn the power off to the unit at the breaker box and remove the wall outlet to access the issue. The receptacle TJ611125 will most likely require replacement.
