Wate Dispenser Not Working
Safety first, unplug fridge. Had to remove the top access panel, which consisted of 5 screws. Got access to the door switches. These are removed from the panel by depressing the plunger on the switch and sliding them out of the retainer. Transferred the wires over to the new switches one for one. Re-assembled. Dispenser works.

Door alarm going off even with the doors closed.
Pulled the instructions up on U-tube and followed them. With the socket removed 5 small bolts. Took the old switches ( I replaced both switches being I had it apart), put the new switches in and then put the 5 bolts back in.

My light always stayed on and the icemaker stopped working.
I diagnosed the sensors in my refrigerator by holding the sensor in and seeing if I could trick the sensor it partially worked. I then used a multimeter and did an ohm test on both sensors multiple times open and closed the switch to verify which switch failed because it worked a couple times but not always. It ended up being the switch
... Read more on the left hand door with 3 terminals on it and after the replacement it has worked great for weeks now no issue. best 15 dollars and 25 minutes spent!

I replaced the left side fresh food door light switch but would like to replace the right side door switch. I can not find the part # for this one. The left side door switch has three prongs on it, and the right side only has two. Not sure if I can use the same part number for the right side

When you order a new light switch do you get both of them?
For model number GNE29GMKJES
Hi Michael, thank you for your inquiry. The part number for both light switches is the same, but if you need both, then you will have to buy them separately. Please submit a new question if you have any follow-ups!
