Diy Widow April 07, 2023 for Model Number GD5NHAXMB00 I have taped the light switch down for the last year because when it toggled when the door opened, there would be a tictok continuous sound and the thermometer control settings would flicker or not be on at all. I just pulled (after unplugging unit) the switch from it's insert but did not disconnect anything and then reinstalled it and plugged it back to the wall recepticle. I noticed that the light worked as well as the thermostat control!! I closed the door and reopened but then it returned to tiktoc continous sound and thermostat control numbers flickering, but the frig light was on just fine. I am ordering a new switch but is the thermostat number lights a seperate issue???
1 Answer DIY widow, based on the information provided, either there is a wire issue or a control failure. The main control WPW10135090 would need to be tested for 120VAC from the yellow wire at connection P2 pin 3 to the white wire at connection P1 pin 3 when the door is open. If there is continuous voltage, the wires in the liner are good and the voltage output to the user control 2304102. At connection P4 of the main control, there should be 5V from the tan/white wire at pin 1 to the black/white wire at pin 3. If there is continuous voltage, the user control has failed. If there is not, the main control has failed. Unfortunately, both control boards have been discontinued by the manufacturer and are no longer available. Read More...
Al March 22, 2020 for Model Number GR2FHTXVL01 The two lights in my Whirlpool refrigerator are blinking and dimming. The freezer light is working properly. Can a faulty door switch cause that problem?
1 Answer Al, it would be recommended that the bulbs are checked to ensure they are tightened fully into the outlets. If the bulbs are secured fully, then the door switch W11384469 would be the only possibility and may not be making full contact in the switch. Read More...
Jim October 09, 2019 for Model Number WRS322FNAM00 My refrigerator has an issue. The lights in the freezer and refrigerator both flicker. I have now replaced the light in the freezer compartment it started flickering then went steady, but now has gone back to flickering. Any thoughts?
1 Answer Jim, The light in the top of the refrigerator has a control board in it and changes the voltage input to a DC output. So the solid yellow wire and the white wire is the 120 vac input and the other 2 wires is the 14 vdc output. the other lights only have 14 vdc going to them so probably test the light in the top of the refrigerator first.

Michael December 18, 2018 I have a WRX988SIBM01 and in the freezer compartment, I can not locate the switch as the light does not work. Your picture diagram shows the switch on the left side but I still can not locate it. Your video shows a completely different model refrigerator so that is no help. Do you know where the switch is? Thank You
1 Answer Hello Michael, You will need to bend down and look up at the ceiling of the freezer compartment to see the door switch W11384469. Read More...
Paul November 15, 2018 for Model Number KSSC48QTS00 You guys have impressive fund of knowledge, my complements. Icemaker and water dispenser has failed on this side by side. I replaced water inlet valve, dispenser control panel, motor, rewired harness. Could the main control board have anything to do with the fail? Is there something else to look at?
1 Answer Paul, If the control for the dispenser is not working at all then this would most likely be the main control board that is faulty. Read More...
Helena September 06, 2018 for Model Number Whirlpool GS6SHEXNSOO Refrigerator light is out and there's a clicking noise when the door is open. Depressing the door switch causes the sound to stop. Having read the previous questions on this website, I purchased and installed WP1118894 switch and there is no change. What next?
1 Answer Hello Helena, The sound is probably a relay on the control board 2255233 which is failing to pass the voltage. I'm sorry but this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. You may be able to contact a company like Corecentric Solutions 866-737-2244/ corecentricsolutions.com to see if they support the board. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Steve July 04, 2018 for Model Number GD5RVAXVB05 After watching the video, I attempted to remove the light switch from our Whirlpool refrigerator. Used putty knife as directed. After prying, wiggling etc.the bottom broke off. It appears to be either glued or clipped in place.tried to pry from the three remaining sides with no luck. Also, it appears the opening is much more rectangular than your video. What do you think?
1 Answer Steve, that switch is difficult to remove, there is one side that has a tab that needs to be pushed in to remove. Be careful that you do not pull the wires off of the switch, there is not much slack in the wires. Make sure you unplug the refrigerator when working on the switch. Read More...

David W July 16, 2017 for Model Number KSBS25IVBL00 A few days ago my Kitchen aid refrigerator model number KSBS25IVBL00 the refrigerator side light started flickering it appeared the switch was shorting. i could flip it and it would come on. Today its does not operate at all. I open the freezer side and the light does not come in there either?? i removed both bulbs and checked them with a volt ohm meter and they both had continuity? are these interconnected?
1 Answer David, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty main control board W10219463 and unfortunately the board has been discontinued by the manufacturer with no suitable replacement available. You could try to send the board off to be repaired. Read More...
