The Door Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a basic on/off switch located inside the refrigerator door frame that controls power to interior lights.
When the door is opened, the magnet inside activates the switch, illuminating LED lights inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments for convenience. This allows for ease of accessing and identifying items without additional switches.
Causes of a bad door switch can include normal wear over time, moisture exposure, or impact damage.
Symptoms of a bad door switch include:
- Lights not turning on when the door is opened
- Lights remaining on continuously even when the door closed
- Inability to shut off lights manually
Replacing the switch with a Frigidaire OEM part ensures the refrigerator's interior lights function properly based on the door position. It also helps optimize energy usage. This replacement is compatible with models by Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore.
