Freezer Plunger Switch Parts

The Door switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This part turns the light on/off as the door opens and closes.

Causes of a faulty door switch include normal wear of electrical contacts from repetitive on/off cycles. Moisture exposure may potentially corrode internal connections.

Symptoms of a bad light/switch include:

• The interior light fails to turn on when the door is opened
• The light stays on when the door is closed, leading to potential overheating
• An impact on the refrigerator’s temperature regulation due to the switch not signaling the door's closure

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

• Small electrical switch designed to mount at the door latch or frame and connect to the appliance wiring harness

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before attempting service

• Observe wiring orientation and connector positions; replace exactly as removed or tag wires
