Freezer compartment lights not working. I know there's power to the switch. I know that the led lights are good and work. I have a new switch on order. If replacing the switch doesn't solve the problem, where do i look next? Is the next step to replace a circuit board. If so, where is it located and what is the part number?
For model number jsc23c9eem00
Hi Michael, thank you for your question. I would suggest looking at your lights themselves if the switch is not the issue. I have linked that part below for you. If that part is fine then I would go on to take a look at control board being the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
Does this switch fit the refrigerator model I have? What is the difference between WP4387911 and W11457217? My research shows both should fit my Kenmore refrigerator.
For model number 106.58919800
Hello Ken, thank you for your question. We do not find the WP4387911 to be in the parts list for your model. However, there is the Light switch in the refrigerator PS11738900 and the Light switch in the Freezer PS16218024. We have a video on the Refrigerator switch. We are pleased to have been able to help.
