Whirlpool Refrigerator Switch

Color: Black. Instruction sheet included.

Oven light switch.

This 6-position switch assembly replaces a worn or damaged selector switch to restore reliable electrical switching for the appliance control. It helps recover proper cycle selection and responsive control inputs for normal operation. What it does:

• Routes power between control circuits so selected cycles and settings engage correctly.
• Restores reliable selector/position switching when the control won't change settings.
• Common symptom when failing: appliance is unresponsive to cycle changes, selections don't register, or operation is intermittent.
• Matches the OEM switch function used in the control/timer area of compatible units.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service to avoid shock hazard.
• Remove required panels or the control console to access the switch; keep track of screw locations and wire connections.
• Photograph or label wiring before disconnecting to ensure correct reassembly.

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:

• Unresponsive switch
• Inability to turn the ice maker on or off
• Inconsistent or inadequate ice production

Regain control over your Whirlpool refrigerator's ice maker by replacing the faulty or malfunctioning on/off rocker switch with this genuine OEM part.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
