Easy Repair
The part I ordered and received was perfect, and the video clip demonstrating how to replace the door switch couldn’t have been more straight forward and easy to follow.

frig light switch
My test concluded the switch failed; the test was flawed; it was the light socket that failed.

Light is back on!
My aging KitchenAid fridge’s light switch broke off. PartSelect had the part and there was a video of how to install it and it took me just minutes. It also was very inexpensive.

Did the trick
Even though the part was not a 100% copy, it was certainly close enough to fit properly and 100% solve the problem

Switch was not exactly like the one in my fridge but would have worked fine the hole was the same size!
The service was great and the directions helped me alot thanks! I used a putty knife like instructed and the switch would not move! I ended up removing the switch in small broken pieces which took the spade ends off the wires. My switch was glued in with expanding foam insulation and some kind of putty! I had to dig out the switch cavity with a screwdriver. My Maytag fridge is new but warranty work where I live takes months! The switch will work great once I figure out how to put ends on the wires. Please bring my problem up in your video to warn other people who might have the same problem. Thanks again I will order parts from you guys again! Have a great day! Lar

Refrigerator light would not stay on. Water dispenser would not dispense unless the refrigerator light was on.
My non mechanical husband used a flat edged screwdriver to pry out the broken switch. Then it was a matter of reconnecting to small wires and popping the switch back in place....voila, life has been great ever since. ;)
We looked up the problem online with the model number of the refrigerator. We ordered the part and followed the video installation that was sent with the order and was found online prior to purchasing

Light rocker switch broke and refrigerator light couldn't go on.
I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.

Did not work light does not come on when the door opens. Would try the light socket. It not sure how good the switch got plugged in.
Eased the putty knife under the edge of the switch housing and pried it off. Pulled two wires off the old terminals and hooked them onto the new one and reinstalled into the refrigerator body.

Switch was not working after a repairman had fixed something else
Please bear in mind I am 65 years old & it was harder to get up & down off the floor then to change the switch. Was very easy - watched video, unplugged unit. I used the putty knife at the right front corner to work loose, when it came loose had to loose the left side a little. The unit pulled out easily. detached the wired that had a single plug with 2 prongs on it. Attached the plug, pushed new switch into place. There was no way you could place wires on wrong prong. When done, plugged refrigerator back in & checked if working. I CAN SEE THE LIGHT and the food in the freezer now. Thank you for making an easy repair.

Light in my refrigerator didn't work.
At first I went to a local part supplier and they didn't have it in stock but could order it for me for $55.00 plus $10.00 to ship it. I told them I would have to think about it. I went home and got on the computer and found your web site and was I shocked when I saw the same part listed for $6.98 and $7.00 to ship it. You guys saved me $50.00. The part arrived in two day and took 5 min. to install. I now have light in my refrigerator. Thank you.

Where do you replace the light switch? My lights stopped working in my freezer and also the top of my refrigerator. The lights on the sides still work normally.
For model number WRF767SDHZ00
Hello Brenda, Thank you for the question. The Switch for the Fresh Food Section is located on the side of the cabinet where the door will close onto the frame of the appliance. The switch for the freezer should be in the top Middle section of the Cabinet where the Freezer Door would close onto the frame of the Freezer in front of the Light Cover. We hope this helps!
Cabinet led lights are dim. While putting groceries away on sunday most of the lights dimmed, then brightened, flickered many times, then went dim full time. 2-3 of the lights are still their normal brightness, while the others are 1/10th of their normal brightness.
For model number kfis29bbms03
Hi Thomas, thank you for your question. Generally the parts to check would be your light switches to see if they are working correctly. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Light bulbs on refrigerator side do not go on when door is opened. Checked/replaced both bulbs. However, control panel digital readout does go on/off when door light switch is released/depressed. Is problem still likely to be with switch, or more likely with bulb sockets?
For model number KSCS25INSS00
Hello John, Thank you for the question. This sounds like a power issue with the Electronic Control Board and it may need to be replaced. Before replacing, you can check the wire connection to the board and the switch to make sure everything is secure. We hope this helps!
This refrigerator is a French door with freezer below, the left side switch seems bad. When I open the left door, no light and no water (inside refridge) When I open the right door everything works. If I nudge the left switch forward, the light comes on. The switches are on top of the inside cabinet. Is this the correct switch also?
For model number WRF535SSWBM00
Hello Robert, thank you for your inquiry. According to our research on the model, the problem appears to be with the Door Switch, part number PS12728638. If you require assistance placing an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!

The lights on the left side stopped working a few years ago. Now only 2 of the lights on the right side are working, and they are on the side of the fridge (the lights on the right side ceiling of the fridge do not work). Does this sound like a light switch issue?
Thanks!
For model number MFT2976AEM03
Hi Kim,
Thank you for your question. If the lights in the refrigerator are not working, you will need to check the door switches. We have included a link that you may reference on how to check these parts. Once you have determined the part you need, please feel free to call customer service. We are open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. We look forward to hearing from you!
My refrigerator has stopped cool the entire unit and at the same time I noticed that the door switch has been knocked out of place. Is it possible that the switch is now no longer functioning and needs to be replaced before the refrigerator will resume cooling?
For model number LXW18JETRW-1
Hi Michael, thank you for your inquiry. Based on our research, a refrigerator door switch controls the on/off function of the interior lights with the opening or closing of the door. It does not have an effect on cooling. To solve this issue, you may need to check the start relay, part number PS963826, as it is most likely faulty and may need to be replaced. Glad to be of assistance!
All the lights in the refrigerator and freezer aren't working. Would it be the light switch needing to be replaced? There are two (one on each side of the refrigerator) in the fridge. Would I need to replace both?
For model number KFIS29PBMS02
Hello Angela, Thank you for the question. If both the fridge and freezer light have stopped working at the same time, it could be an indication of a wiring issues or a defective LED Light Module. We hope this helps!
The housing on the old freezer light switch has the terminals at the back of the housing and the one I received with the same part number has them on the side and will not fit up in there. Do they still make one with the terminals at the back?
For model number AF12539ERM02
Hi Jimmy, thank you for reaching out. Based on our research, the compatible light switch for your model is part number PS16217956, and its terminals are on the back side. We hope this will resolve your problem!
I have a Maytag refrigerator model JFD2589KES. Only one side of the refrigerator lights up when the doors are opened. Trying to figure out what parts are needed to fix this
For model number JFD2589KES
