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

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

Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WE1M1011
The Door Latch is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part ensures the dryer door stays securely closed during operation, activating the safety switch to allow the dryer to operate. The latch mechanism engages with the door strike to lock the door, preventing it from opening while the dryer is running, which is essential for both safety and proper functioning of the appliance.
Causes for replacement can include normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or a misalignment that prevents the door from securely latching.
Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:
- The dryer door doesn't stay closed during cycles.
- Difficulty in starting the dryer due to the door not activating the safety switch.
- Visible wear or damage to the latch mechanism.
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Was making a squeaking/squealing on start up Gerald G. • Nashua , NH • March 20, 2016
My GE dryer from the late 80's/early 90's was squealing when it would start up, belt or bearing I was thinking. I found a manual online that covered my model and I watched a video on this site that showed me how to take it all apart, mine was a bit different but the principles were the same. I took it apart and added some quick-disconnects to 2 wires so next time I can take the front panel off easily. When I got to the bearing it looked worn but not bad so I cleaned it and put it back. ...

Dryer was running but not heating Chris B. • Milton , FL • March 20, 2016
The heating element had a break in the heater coils, so I replaced it with a new one from Appliance Parts Pros. I also replaced the thermal fusible link and thermostat switch because they were so cheap it just made sense to go ahead and do it while I was in there. I also cleaned every nook & cranny in the dryer, then cleaned out the vent piping- which was about 100% clogged. The video's of how to tear down a dryer were indispensable to this repair - along with APP's always having the right...
