Switch stops working

Replace with new switch. this is the third switch i have replaced in 10 years. the only part, besides a light bulb, that has gone bad. obviously this is a problem with this model for Kenmore, or just poor switch design.

Door switch would not turn on interior refrigerator light.

I had previously watched a YouTube video (do this first!!) on a similar Kenmore model so I knew what to look out for: (1) turned off power, (2) took thin putty knife to slip under outer lip of switch (most screwdrivers are too thick), (3) wiggled switch at front end to release the tab, (4) unplugged from the socket, (5) plugged in new switch, (6) popped new switch back into door, (7) turned on power. Voila !! Super easy. I couldn't believe it.

The old ice maker had cracked and broken, and would no longer make ice.

Six screws to remove the old one (I looked up the process on Youtube) and six screws had it back in tip top shape.
Three wire connections, two were plug in and one was a ground wire.
BTW: It was a 3 wire, not a 6 wire. I had ordered that by mistake and PartSelect made the return and replacement very easy.

fridge just quit. No lights ,ice, water or cooling

Called a local repair shop to get the problem diagnosed. Nice repair guy came out and was pretty confident that it was the main board . However his supplier had it on backorder and had a 7 day shipment estimate. When he told me I got on the internet and parts select had the part in stock with a 2-3 business day arrival. I rolled the dice and ordered it. Came the next day via Fed x. It took me 15 minutes to put it in and so far so good. Without the diagnosis I would have been in the dark as to what was wrong so it was worth the fee for the service call to get an expert diagnosis

Lights didn't come on when door was opened

I have moderate to good mechanical skills, but getting the old switch out was a sizeable challenge. Since this switch suffered some damage during extraction, I was lucky to have ordered a new one to replace it. Reinstall took approximately 90 seconds. PartSelect saved me an expensive service call.

Broken door basket

The repair was an easy replacement. The problem was the LG part was no longer available from LG or any of the other places I tried. The PartSelect customer service representative was a true professional and did an outstanding job of helping find the correct part (LG's diagram was unreadable) and cross-referenced it to find the the part that PartSelect actually had in stock. I had the part in four day. The best customer service I have had in years. I lost his name but the order was 13449146. He deserves a raise!

The switch became intermittent - Possibly a poor designe

Used a small screw driver inserted into the front of the switch (facing the front) and pried until the switch was coming out. When out, I removed the connect harness and replace the switch with a new one.
