White Westinghouse Refrigerator WRT18MP6CSS Light not working

The Light Switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This switch controls the interior light of the refrigerator, turning it on when the door is opened and off when the door is closed. It ensures that the refrigerator is properly illuminated, making it easier to find items inside.

Causes of a bad light switch can include electrical malfunctions, physical damage from repeated use, or wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a bad Light Switch include:

• Interior light not turning on when the door is opened
• Light flickering or intermittently turning on and off
• The refrigerator light staying on even when the door is closed

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This refrigerator light socket holds and powers the interior bulb so you can clearly see inside. Replace a cracked, heat-damaged, or loose socket to restore reliable illumination when the interior light won't work or flickers.

• Provides the electrical connection and mounting point for the compartment light bulb
• Fixes symptoms such as no interior light with a known-good bulb

• Transfer wires to the new socket one lead at a time and seat the socket fully
