LG Refrigerator Switches

Popular LG Refrigerator Switches

The interior light in your refrigerator is controlled by a switch that is activated when the door is opened and closed. If your refrigerator light will not turn on, or stays on when the door is closed, you could have a faulty switch. The switch is spring-loaded and is a generally closed type of switch meaning there should be no continuity when the button is pushed, and continuity through the switch when it is no longer engaged. This plastic, white, OEM switch is sourced directly from the manufacturer, is sold individually and is easy to replace. The repair usually takes less than 15 minutes and requires a flat-blade screwdriver and needle-nose pliers.

Remove and replace light switch
Video makes it look easy. Kenmore refrigerator does not have "groove" along the right hand side of switch that allows for pushing down on release. Used a thin screwdriver to get under to push while holding switch edge with pliers. Kept slipping. Tape sides to avoid scratching inside of refrigerator.
This is a micro switch for various models of LG refrigerators. This switch is responsible for turning the ice dispenser on and off within the freezer compartment of the fridge. If this switch is damaged or shorted, it will cause the ice maker to work inconsistently, or not at all. This switch is different from the water dispenser switch, which has an entirely different shape all together. Replacing this switch is simple and only requires a Philips-head screwdriver to disconnect the old switch and install the new one. This switch is a genuine OEM LG part and does not come with any other parts or accessories.

Then pull out and replace the switch Micro -- only has one Phillips screw holding switch. Replaced the dispenser and snapped on the New button assembly I broke and job was done. Works perfectly now..

The lights wouldn't always come on.
I actually watched a YouTube video for LG refrigerators. The hardest part was taking the wire harness out. Mine was really stuck in there. But got it, put the new switch in and viola it worked. Yay!

Scott Andrew from PORT HURON, MI
Cam holder for gasket retainer broken off; refrigerator cabinet light switches failed
(1) Gasket holder is quite simple. Remove snap-on trim to expose gasket. Identify upper and lower clips (white 1" long) that hold gasket holder into frame of fridge door. Gently pry out / remove with flat-headed screwdriver. Gasket holder will slide out frpm the gasket. Replace - make sure you get the cam facing the correct way at the top of the holder. This is a pretty easy repair, 20 minutes beginning to end. (2) RHS light switch failed - replaced both -- door hinge cap removes w/ a single appliance screw - switches are plug-in to the wiring assembly, and snap into place in the hinge cap.

This part is the replacement push switch for your refrigerator. It is made of white plastic and is sold individually. The door switch turns the light on and off when you open the door, and it is also a safety mechanism that doesn’t allow the auger motor to come on and dispense ice when the door is open. To remove the switch, simply pry it out of position with a small flat head screwdriver, then disconnect the wires. Reconnect the wires to a new switch and snap it into place. Be sure to connect the wires to the switch in the correct order. This part is an authentic OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.
