Refrigerator Hardware Hand Line Mover Start Switch Parts

This push-button door switch signals when a door is closed so the appliance will run. It replaces a worn or faulty door switch to restore normal door-detection and operation. What it does:

• Detects a closed door and completes the circuit so the appliance can start or continue a cycle
• Stops operation or prevents starts when the door is open, improving safety
• Commonly replaces switches that cause intermittent starts, failure to start, or lights that stay on
• Works as the user-interface contact point for door-closure sensing

• One door switch (single push-button switch)

• Disconnect power before attempting installation to avoid electrical shock
• Typical installation requires access behind the control or inside the cabinet—use basic hand tools

This compressor start relay helps the refrigerator compressor start reliably so the appliance can maintain proper cooling. It replaces a failing start device to restore normal compressor startup behavior. What it does:

• Provides the initial boost to the compressor motor so it can start turning
• Commonly used when the compressor hums or won't start but power is present
• Can reduce repeated clicking or intermittent starts caused by a failed start device
• Works with the compressor's start circuit; does not replace sealed-system components

• One compressor start relay

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Inspect associated start capacitor/overload if present; replace if faulty for reliable operation

Replacement refrigerator door light switch that turns the interior lamp on and off as the door opens and closes. Restores reliable interior lighting and prevents the lamp from staying on or failing to illuminate. What it does:

• Acts as the door-activated switch that opens or closes the lamp circuit when the door is opened or shut
• Commonly replaces a switch when the interior light won't come on
• Also used when the light stays on, flickers, or does not respond to door movement
• Fits into the cabinet or door frame and connects to the refrigerator's lamp wiring

• Disconnect power (unplug the appliance or turn off the circuit) before starting
• Access the switch by removing the light housing or the necessary trim/panel; keep track of fasteners
• Note or photograph wire connections before removing the switch to ensure correct reassembly

The Door Light Switch is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to control the interior light of the refrigerator, turning it on when the door is opened and off when the door is closed.

Causes of a bad door light switch can include wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage from regular use. A faulty switch can lead to improper functioning of the refrigerator light, impacting visibility inside the unit.

Symptoms of a bad Door Light Switch include:

• Refrigerator light not turning on or off correctly
• Light flickering or remaining dim
• Light staying on even when the door is closed

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This replacement switch restores reliable control of a specific circuit or feature in your appliance. A button, selector, or lever that has become unresponsive or intermittent can be fixed by installing a new switch.

• Opens and closes an electrical circuit to power the intended component or feature
• Helps resolve no-response or intermittent operation from a selector or button
• Addresses issues like a stuck/broken actuator or a switch that only works when wiggled
• Supports safe, consistent control of the appliance function

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Note wire positions and transfer one lead at a time to the matching terminals
• Seat the switch fully in its mounting; avoid pinching or straining wires
• After reassembly, restore power and test operation; use a multimeter to confirm continuity if needed

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the refrigerator's compressor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable compressor startup and more consistent cooling performance.

• Provides the electrical boost/phase shift needed for compressor motor startup and steady operation
• Works with the start device to deliver proper current to the compressor
• Failure symptoms can include clicking or humming near the compressor, poor cooling, or short cycling
• May cause the compressor not to start after power interruptions when weak or failed

• Disconnect power before servicing any electrical component
• Safely discharge the capacitor before handling; avoid touching terminals
• Note wire positions and terminal markings; transfer leads one at a time to the matching terminals
• Secure the capacitor in its mounting/bracket to prevent vibration damage

The Rocker Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This switch is responsible for controlling the operation of your refrigerator's ice maker, allowing you to turn it on or off as needed, providing you with easy control over the ice maker.

A bad switch can occur due to regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or physical damage. If you notice symptoms such as an unresponsive switch, inability to turn the ice maker on or off, or inconsistent ice production, it may be time to replace the rocker switch.

Symptoms of a bad switch include:
