Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Light Switch (Part Number: OEM18027972)

Kenneth Boyd for Model Number Whirpool Gold Ref. Model #GD5SHAXNT00

Ice maker led not working properly. I recently purchase from your company the Led sender receiver, and installed. Led still intermittent. When I push freezer door switch just a little, by hand in and out it will come on some times. Does the door switch control the Led? Need help please. I don't think my led replacement helped fix the problem. Does the freezer door switch have any control over the water inlet valve? Maybe contacts in switch are bad?? Thank You for your help!!

Kenneth,

The light switch does play a role in the emitter board operation. If the light is not coming on in the unit then the emitter board light would generally not come on. Based on the information with the board lighting up after pushing the switch then the switch would be bad. The water valve and switch do not intertwine except for the dispenser operation.

Sharon, The most common issue for your complaint description is, something has overflowed the bin and wrapped around the power screw and jammed the motor. That leaves the ram in a partially engaged position and you can't open the door. There are several "hidden" switches that could be the cause, as well, but you will need to remove the compactor and remove the top panel to access most of them. We'll be sending you some information that should be helpful.

Hello Don. This is the only door switch listed for your model. While it is a little different than the original, it should be a functional equivalent. It is likely one of the three terminals would simply just not be used. If you order this part and have any trouble with the installation, you can visit the repair forum we have on our website and the techs there would be able to walk you through most any issue. I will include a link in this message to the forum. I hope this info helps.
