Description
The Housing is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. The housing provides a secure enclosure for the door switch and light bulb. The door switch is responsible for detecting when the refrigerator door is opened or closed, allowing the light bulb to turn on and off accordingly. The light bulb illuminates the refrigerator's interior, making it easy to locate and retrieve items.
A bad housing can occur due to wear and tear, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage. If you notice symptoms such as the light not turning on when the door is opened, difficulty in replacing the light bulb, or a faulty door switch, it may be time to replace this part.
Symptoms of a bad housing include:
- Light not turning on when the door is opened
- Difficulty in replacing the light bulb
- Cracks or damage to the housing
Restore your Whirlpool refrigerator by replacing the worn or damaged housing with this genuine OEM part.
This OEM part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
