The Magnet Switch is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It plays an important role in monitoring the position of the refrigerator door.
The magnet switch works together with a magnet installed in the door gasket to detect when the door is opened or closed. It communicates this information to the control board which uses it to manage temperatures and fan speeds accordingly.
Causes of a bad magnet switch can include wear and tear over time, physical damage, or failure of internal components.
Symptoms of a bad magnet switch include:
- Improper cooling and freezing performances
- Inability to detect when the door is opened
- Erratic temperature fluctuations
- Errors codes relating to door sensors
This genuine OEM LG magnet switch restores the door monitoring functions of your refrigerator. It is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore refrigerator models.
