Description

This replacement door switch restores proper door sensing in your refrigerator. It detects when the fresh food or freezer door opens and closes, turning interior lights on/off and signaling the control so door-ajar alerts and related features work correctly. What it does:

• Senses door position to control interior lighting
• Sends door status to the control in many models for features like door-ajar alerts or fan pause
• Helps prevent overheating near the light by ensuring it turns off when the door is closed
• Common symptoms of failure: no interior light, light stays on, flickering light, or persistent door-ajar alarm

What's included:

• 1 door switch

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Carefully release the old switch from the cabinet opening and unplug the wire harness
• Connect the harness to the new switch, orient correctly, and snap or seat it fully in the opening
• Restore power and verify proper light operation and door-ajar indication
