About This Part

What it does. Why it matters. Everything you need to know for an easy fix.

LIGHT SWITCH Specifications

The interior light of your refrigerator is controlled by a switch that is activated when the door is opened and closed. If your refrigerator light will not turn on, there could be an issue with the switch. The switch is spring loaded and is a generally closed type of switch meaning there should be no continuity when the button is depressed, and continuity through the switch when the button is not depressed. This plastic, white, OEM switch is sourced directly from the manufacturer, is sold individually and is easy to replace. The repair usually takes less than 15 minutes and requires a flat blade screwdriver and needle nose pliers.

Worked perfectly in my 20 year old side by side GE Monogram!

Did the trick! Very simple repair!

The video at PartSelect helped to make this repair a snap! After a couple of months of fumbling around in a dark refrigerator we can see again. Needed a second part to complete the repair and PartSelect's suggestions made getting that a snap, too!

Exact match for the original

And the accompanying video made it a literal snap to install. Unfortunately, my fridge was among the 25% where the switch wasn’t the problem. So it goes.

Our fridge sits within our cabinets with one over top of it. That plus the leveler feet to secure it in place made this easy task a little more difficult. I was able to remove the top panel to access the switches. I was concerned, as I had not unplugged it because of the feet and went for it regardless, figuring if there was a shock, it ... Read more

I watched the video online, followed the instructions and within minutes had the part installed. The frig light was working once again! I will say the original switch was very snug and I had to do some very minor scraping of the plastic to get the new part to slide in.
