Refrigerator Plunger Switch Parts

A small push-fit plastic retainer used to secure interior trim, panels, or lightweight components. Keeps parts held in place without screws for a clean finish and quick replacement. What it does

• Acts as a push-in fastener to hold trim pieces, liners, or lightweight panels.
• Replaces worn, broken, or missing pins that allow interior parts to shift or rattle.
• Helps stop loose trim, sagging panels, or gaps that can collect dirt or cause noise.
• Simple, non-threaded design for a secure press-fit connection.

• Press firmly into the matching hole until fully seated; do not force beyond resistance.
• Inspect mating hole for damage or debris before installing to ensure a proper fit.
• Use basic hand tools (needle-nose pliers) only if needed to remove the old pin; avoid prying against fragile trim.
• If the original hole is stretched or cracked, replace the mating trim or panel to regain proper retention.

A roll pin (spring pin) that secures rotating or sliding components by fitting into matched holes to hold shafts, levers, or brackets in place. Replaces a worn or damaged pin to restore proper mechanical engagement. What it does:

• Holds shafts, levers or hinges in position by expanding into drilled holes for a snug, vibration-resistant fit
• Keeps pulleys, rollers, or linkages from moving out of alignment or sliding off their shafts
• Common symptom: loose or wobbling pulley, lever, or shaft where the retaining pin is worn or broken
• Common symptom: noisy or intermittent operation caused by a pin that no longer secures moving parts

• Inspect mating holes and shaft for wear; replace pin with correct size to ensure secure fit
• Use appropriate pliers or a pin punch and hammer to drive the pin in or out; support the assembly to avoid damage
• Wear eye protection when installing or removing roll pins—pins can snap or fly out under force
• If pin is difficult to remove or install, consider using penetrating oil or heating only per OEM guidance

• Replaces a bent, worn, or broken linkage that causes sticky or non-responsive controls
• Helps restore proper engagement and consistent mechanical action
• Works as a simple mechanical replacement—no electronic programming required

• One control rod
