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?

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.

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!

dropped something on the light switch and it broke off
we just pried out the old switch and pulled it out the rest of the way with a pair of needle nose pliers. Pulled off the wires on the broken switch and reattached to the new one and just slid/clicked it back into the hole.

Fresh food section lights were all out, but the bulbs tested good elsewhere.
I popped the switch out using the blade of a small screwdriver and noticed that it connected with two wires via a slide on connector for each one. I noted the info on the old switch to identify which wire went to which terminal. I held each wire with a pair of pliers while I pulled the wire connector off the terminal on the old switch. I connected the two wires to the correct terminals on the new swith, and popped the switch back into the door frame. Easy, easy, easy and saved the $40 service call + parts cost!

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, 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!!!

Light switch shorting out causing open door alarm to go off
Easy fix, but they don't give you plenty of wire to work with. When I pulled the switch out it only had about an inch of wire that came with it. meaning if I didn't have a grasp on the wires as I was removing the switch they would have slipped back up the opening

Light switch broke when I dropped a jar of jam on it.
The three bulbs would then remain on, so I loosened them to keep them off. I didn't know that the cooling system also would stop when the door was open, so for two days only the side freezer was operational. When I discovered that, I hot glued the switch button off, while I searched for a replacement part. The replacement part was an exact duplicate. A simple prying out of the old switch - using a screwdriver, and the reconnection of the two wires connectors to the new part, and clicking back in place ... done. Seriously, it took two minutes.

Refrigerated Side Was Warming Up And Not Cooling
I used the screwdriver to pop out the broken door switch and physically pushed in the next one. 2 Minutes maybe!! On the bezel light, I unscrewed the old one and screwed back in the new. Also, I had to pop and unpop the light cover. Make sure you move it side to side not up and down pop out.
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.

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!
