The right part, and it works!
The part is exactly as described and the light now comes on when opening the right side refrigerator door. The installation video was of limited help because this switch had to be installed on the inside of the refrigerator cabinet. I had to dig the old switch out of the side, removing some of the insulation in which it was embedded. That allowed access to the wires and clips to complete the installation.

Easy repair and great company
The part was in perfect condition, very easy to repair as was shown.
Took a few minutes. The longest part of changing out the part was pulling out the fridge to unplug it. I love dealing with this company. I didn’t sign up for an account until this repair but I have dealt with this company many times. Every part delivered was in great condition, the video’s or directions can never get easier and I have saved a bundle on repairs doing it myself and with PartSelect! I always recommend! :)
Thank you! Pam

Relatively easy repair
The replacement was straight forward. The only glitch was trying to pop the piece back into the opening after taking out the old one and literally plugging in the new one into the connector. I ended up having to file a bit of plastic along one edge to get it back it. All together, 10 minutes tops.

Refrigerator light stopped working
Followed the instructions in the video provided via email from Partselect However, the part received was the opposite design of the part removed. It appeared this could be left hand right hand choice of part. Moreover, the button on the switch that turns the light off/on when door is open/closed was not functional due to the
... Read more part being the opposite of the part I was replacing. I tested the switch I was replacing and it appears this is not the problem. I think the light socket is the problem. I am 69 year old female and capable of doing small repairs, but limited knowledge of electrical so having to troubleshoot by trial and error. Thank you.

Repaced the right-side door light switch
Killed the power to the fridge. Then, used a small, thin screwdriver to depress the clip on the bottom of the switch and wriggled the old switch out. The two wires easily came off the contacts with pliers. Connected the wires to the new switch and snapped it into the hole--clip facing down and contacts facing up. Turned the power back
... Read more on and checked the switch. Worked perfectly! Easy job.
Light switch that causes light to turn on when door is open was nroken.
Truth is, this took a couple hours of cursing, but that was due to poor information and no prior experience. I imagine the next one would take 20 minutes. The issues are these: videos tell you to use a putty knife to pry the old switch out. That is harder than it seems because each switch has a plastic spring that pops open to hold the
... Read more switch on, and you can't access the spring when the switch is installed. So it is important to use the knife on the side of the switch (left or right of spring -- look at the new switch), and back and forth until the switch is worked out. Then it can get worse. The new switch has to plug in electrically before it can be installed mechanically. In my case, with the switch on the fridge wall rather than the top, the outlet for the plug was encased in foam insullation. That gives the appearance that the plug was fixed, immovable, which makes it impossible to plug it in electrically before the switch is in place, and of course once it is in place you can't then plug it in. The problem here was poor instructions. Just scrape out a lot of the foam around the plug and you find that the plug is really not fixed, but attached to reasonably long wires that allow you to plug it in with the switch a couple inches from the wall, and then insert the switch. None of the online instructions tell you this about the wires.
