Perfect Purchase - Perfect Price - Perfect Fit
From start to finish this was a great experience. When I first went to this site to order, finding the right product for what I needed was very stress free and easy. The price is absolutely great and yes, I installed it myself. The product is top notch and it only took me a few seconds to do. I didn't mention the shipping but I didn't have to wait long at all. All in all if I need this part or any other for my refrigerator I will definitely be using this company.

OEM at its best!
The replacement switch was an OEM switch. Not a cheap nock off being passed off to the unsuspecting repairman. Shipped as promised. Thanks again!

Broken light switch, caused by a dropped can of whipped topping
I had some trouble removing the broken switch because a lot of the frame was missing due to the damage from the dropped can. I tried a screwdriver first and then switched to a small putty knife, which someone else had suggested. Once the switch was loose and wires were accessible, I also had some trouble disconnecting them but they
... Read morefinally turned loose. After that the new switch was easily connected and popped back into the opening. Definitely take photos as you disconnect!
I used the pliers to hold switch while I got screwdriver under the switch then pulled out. I THEN unplugged old one and plugged in New one and put it back in place.

Extremely easy. Just screwed in the light bulp. Used pliers to pull out th dispenser switch. Then disconnected the electrical wires ((they just snap off), reattached the wires and then pushed the new switch in. Took less than 10 minuets.

Removed broken switch with plastic scraper (press tension latch on bottom), moved two wire terminals to the new switch and pressed the new switch into the hole.

Refrigerator light not coming on
Our daughter spilled juice on the refrigerator light button. It started with the light coming on very slowly and then not at all. We popped off the old button with a flat head screwdriver, plugged in the new one. Works perfect. Can't believe how inexpensive and easy the fix was.

Refrigerator door switch went bad
It was very simple! I assessed the situation and gathered my tools for the job. I used a flat head screwdriver, pliers, and electrical tape. I used the flat head screwdriver to release the switch from its location, the pliers to take the electrical terminations apart. I taped the wires individual so that I would not loose them in the door
... Read more, also not to short them out. I then unpackaged the new switch to install. Pulled the tape off one of the of the terminals while holding the wire, and attached it to the new switchs terminal post. Did the same with the other wire, then snapped the new switch back into place. Immediately had results. I opened and closed the door a few times in amazement that something so annoying such as a light in your fridge could be so easy to fix. Most of all, having a business to rely on to find the part and deliver in a timely fashion. Thank you Partselect.com, you were outstanding!!!

Existing switch controls both light and fan. Would expect replacement to be four wire but looks like two wire in pic. Is this the right switch?

My GE Refridgerator door ajar alert intermittently comes on several times during the day and night. I have to reset it but that does not solve the issue entirely. I tried taping the light switch down so the light does not come on. That worked well but not entirely either I still have the annoying alert come on once a day usually in the early morning. Your thoughts sir?
For model number GE FRIGIDAIRE PROFESSIONAL FPRU19F8RFC
Hi Norby,
Thank you for your question. According to your owner's manual, this alert will sound to alert you that the door has been open for 5 minutes or more. The door ajar LED will illuminate and the audible alert will sound until the door is closed. The audible alert can be turned off by pressing the Alert RESET key or by closing the door. If the door is ajar for 15 minutes, the interior light will turn off. Sometimes resetting the refrigerator by unplugging it for a few minutes will reset it. If this does resolve the issue, you will need to check the control board, the door switch and the gasket. If the gasket is not sealing correctly air may get inside. 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!
Based upon your diagram, there are two lights in the freezer compartment. Is it likely that both bulbs would burn out at the very same time? Would this indicate it is more than likely the switch mounted in the freezer door?
For model number GSS23GSKJCSS
Hi Terry,
Thank you for your question. It is possible for the boards to got out at the same time, but check the door switch to see it is working correctly. To test the door switch, you will need to remove it from the refrigerator to see if it has continuity. Before removing and testing it, unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet. Set your multimeter to the Rx1 setting to test the switch for continuity and place the probes on the switch’s terminals. The multimeter reading should change from infinity to a reading of zero. Keep the leads touching the terminals and press in on the switch. The reading should change back to infinity. If the results you receive are not consistent with these results, you need a replacement door switch. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.
Need the socket for the light in the fridge. The socket has been removed.
For model number HPS18BTHFRWW

Water dispenser light bulb does not come on when water dispenser is depressed. However, bulb is good, stays on when screwed on tightly, replaced new bulb socket as well. What could be the cause for this please?
For model number GSS25LSPABS
Hello Randy, thank you for your question. If the bulb and socket were changed and the light is still not functioning, the light switch button on the dispenser board is probably gone bad. You would have to replace the board, part number WR55X10304. I hope this helps!
