The purpose of the light switch in your refrigerator is to automatically turn on the light when the door is opened. If the light does not come on automatically when you open the door, the contacts inside the light switch may be burned out, meaning it is time to replace the switch. This package contains both the new light switch and a small plastic spacer. To complete this repair, you will need to remove the control panel section of your refrigerator. The only tools you will require for this repair are a 1/4-inch nut driver and maybe a small flat blade screwdriver. Be sure to disconnect the power source from the refrigerator before completing this repair.

Part arrived as expected....repair was fairly easy....but did not solve problem
The Door Light Switch arrived, Installation was easy enough. But it did not fix my problem. Lights still will not function, so the problem lies somewhere beyond the switch. The only thing that aggravates me here is that I spent a total of $43.27 for a part that I did not need. And I still need to figure out what the REAL problem is... I note that the Side Freezer lights are not working either so I doubt that the switch there is not good. Non of the Lights work. So I'm not figuring the problem might be in the Control or mother board?

Did not fix
I have WHIRLPOOL side by side refrigerator model WRS322FNAH01 (No water or ice maker) and the lights (Main cabinet and freezer) some days come on and some days do not. Some days they come on in the morning and later will not?
I replaced the main cabinet switch PS12745759 before I realized that I could check it by checking continuity and that it only controlled the main cabinet. I checked both the new and old switch and both checked fine.
Because both the freeze and main cabinet lights work or do not at the same time I am convinced that it is not the switches or the LED light assemblies
Any ideas?

Didn’t solve the problem.
I replaced the light switch for $30+ and the LED light/control board for another $170+ but neither fixed the fridge and freezer light that stopped working at the same time.

Had door light switch replaced
The part was in great condition and came fast. Unfortunately, the electrician gave me the wrong information. What I needed was the light itself. I will put in an order for that part soon.

Easy repair. Parts fit perfectly. Worked great!
Wasn’t sure if it was the switch or the light socket - turned out it was both. Replaced both in less than 20 minutes. Happy to see these kinds of parts are still available.

Broken light switch
Took all the screws out of the plastic shroud that encloses the switch .There only four that I needed to remove, were the two in front where the switches that go,they go in horizontally and two in the back with large washers on them that hold the back to the top of the box that go in vertically.The switch was a snap ( make that two snaps
... Read more ) the wiring is almost self explanatory. then it gos back to the way you took it off. OH! and don't forget to turn the light bulb all the way back in to the socket , so the light will work after you take the time to install it yourself.I had the water supply line from under the box to the water dispenser in the door and the total bill on that was one hundred thirty seven and a hand full of change.Don't be afraid to do it yourself the savings is enough on one one item to make several months payments on a new one Randy the "Handy Man'

The freezer side light is out
For model number WRS322FDAM04
Hello Leslie, thank you for your question. If the freezer side light is out you will want to test the switch part number PS11740432. If the switch doesn't fix the issue, you may need to replace the LED light assembly in that section which is part number PS11755866. I hope this helps!

The light is out. The manual says that the led bulbs cannot be changed, yet it appears that has been mentioned. So can i or can’t i change the led bulbs instead of buying a light fixture?
For model number Wrs322FDAM04
Hello Bill, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the LED bulbs are not replaceable. The Fixture would have to be replaced as an assembly. I hope this helps!

First the light in the freezer went out, then one of the lights in the frig went out later the other light went out. Can these lights be replaced. If so how?
For model number wrs325fdam04
Hello Marshall, thank you for your question. You will want to replace the Part Number: WPW10515058, light module assembly. To do this you would use a small flat head screw driver to release the clips on the side then the light module will release from the ceiling. The wires are unplugged from the module, and then the new part is plugged in and snapped into place. Please remember to unplug the unit before starting this repair. Good luck with your repair!

Refrigerator top light was flickering.. replaced light switch.. now the freezer light is completely out and the lights in the refrigerator are dim. what to do??? thanks..
For model number wrs325fdat04
Hello Albert, thank you for your question. If the freezer light is out and the lights are dim in the fridge you would have to replace the LED Electronic Control Board Part Number: WPW10515058. This is the part that controls the lights in the unit. I hope this helps!

The small 10w light in the water/ice dispenser area has burned out. In trying to unscrew it, it doesn't budge. I have applied about all the pressure on it that i'm comforatble with and it doesn't budge. I guess I need some guidance---either apply more pressure---or it doesn't actually unscrew, it pulls out ---or there is a latch/catch up there somewhere that needs to be moved out of the way ---or ...???
For model number ED5VHEXVB00
Hello Jackson, Thank you for the question. The bulb PartSelect Number PS11739347 just unscrews so it might be corroded in the socket In this case the socket shoudl be removed and replaced as well. PartSelect Number PS327346. Hope this helps!
Nevermind!! one last try took care of the issue. it is amazing how easy it unscrews when you are turning it counterclock wise... with egg on my face, thanks for your service!! ;-d

I am trying to replace the refrigerator door light switch. I was able to take panel off and find the switch to be replaced but am having difficulty removing it. The wires are not pulling out. It looks simple on the videos I have watched but mine are not budging. I am just wondering if there is a trick to remove these.
For model number ED25PQXFW02
Hello Sherri,
Thanks for your question. You may need a plastic putty knife to release the internal clips on the side of the switch. A small screwdriver can help with removing the wires from the switch itself.
I hope this helps.
