Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This is the light switch that goes in your refrigerator. If the light is not working or stays on, you may need to replace the switch. It is made of mainly white plastic, and is an OEM part, directly from the manufacturer. Be sure to disconnect the refrigerator from the power source before you begin this repair. To remove the switch, simply use a flathead screwdriver to pop the switch out from the refrigerator wall, then disconnect the wires. Reconnect the wires to the new switch, snap it into place, and the repair is complete.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.

This part saved my fridge!!
Part description for each model was clear, so purchase was simple. Came quickly and was super easy to replace. There was also a youtube video that showed exactly how to install. Without this part the light would not go out in the fridge and the temp went to 70 degrees! Great purchase. Great site!

Broken light switch, caused by a dropped can of whipped topping
I had some trouble removing the broken switch because a lot of the frame was missing due to the damage from the dropped can. I tried a screwdriver first and then switched to a small putty knife, which someone else had suggested. Once the switch was loose and wires were accessible, I also had some trouble disconnecting them but they
... Read morefinally turned loose. After that the new switch was easily connected and popped back into the opening. Definitely take photos as you disconnect!
I used the pliers to hold switch while I got screwdriver under the switch then pulled out. I THEN unplugged old one and plugged in New one and put it back in place.

The switch was loose ( no spring). The lights did not work.
Unplug the refrigerator. Gently pry old switch out with screw driver. Move wires to connector on new switch with needle nose pliers. Pop it back into the hole. Plug back in. Peek inside to see the lights working.

Replaced Light Switch and Dispenser Light Bulb
Extremely easy. Just screwed in the light bulp. Used pliers to pull out th dispenser switch. Then disconnected the electrical wires ((they just snap off), reattached the wires and then pushed the new switch in. Took less than 10 minuets.
Can of fruit fell from shelf and broke the switch cover.
Removed broken switch with plastic scraper (press tension latch on bottom), moved two wire terminals to the new switch and pressed the new switch into the hole.

Refrigerator light not coming on
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.

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
... Read more, 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!!!

have received this part from you and are ready to install new part in fridge for the light. Is it safe to install this part without turning off the fridge or should the fridge be disconnected?
For model number WG03A03078
Hello John, thank you for a very interesting question. We would recommend you turn off the fridge and disconnect it from power. Always use proper tools and safety gears when doing installation. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

when we close the door, sometimes it doesn't close, so we put tape over the switch, but my wife says she can't see what's in the frig to good
For model number GIE22JSNBRSS
Hi Lawrence, thank you for reaching out. Based on our research, the issue is most probably with the door gasket. We would suggest replacing the fresh food section door gasket, part number PS12727254, to solve the problem. We hope that helps!
