FOAM STRIP SE Adhesive WR14X10124

Hi Hugh, Thank you for your question. Yes, when the door is opened the evaporator fan will stop working. If you have any questions, please let us know. A refrigerator door switch is a closed switch. It has a spring inside of it that when pressed by the door shuts off the light and when open, the light turns on. If the light in the freezer is flickering, you will need to check the light switch, the light socket and the light bulb. We have included a link that you may reference on how to check these parts. Once you have determined the part you need, please feel free to call customer service. We are open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. We look forward to hearing from you!
