The interior light in 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, or stays on when the door is closed, you could have a faulty switch. The switch is spring-loaded and is a generally closed type of switch meaning there should be no continuity when the button is pushed, and continuity through the switch when it is no longer engaged. 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.

How do i remove the old switch ?
For model number 795 76203 901
Hello Peter, thank you for your question. First unplug the appliance. Take a small flat head screwdriver and get in between the liner and the switch. There is a tab that you will release on the switch the light can be pulled out, the wire harness disconnected and the new part installed. I hope this helps!

The light in fridge is not not working at all.If I push the inside gizmo and hold it for a while....maybe the light will come on but it won't stay on.How do I know if it is the light bulb or the mechanism that fits in the place that I push to try to activate the light.How do I problem solve to know the exact thing to order?
For model number 79576202901
Hi Ruth , Thank you for the question. The only way to know for sure what part is defective before placing an order is to test the switch and the socket with an Multi Meter and check for continuity. If the light eventually turns on, it is mostly likely the light switch. If the bulb or socket were bad they usually would not turn on at all. Hope this helps!

I am looking for a filter on the ice machine, where is it located?
For model number 79576203901
Hello Jason, thank you for your question. There is not filtration system on this unit. The water goes to the icemaker directly from the water valve. I hope this helps.

The frige is working good as far as cooling and freezing. There is a continual 3 beep alarm when i open the door to the freezer or refrigerator sometime the lights are off i can close the doors and the lights will come on but the beeping continues.
For model number LRBC20512WW
Hello Judy, thank you for your question. The alarm and lights issue could have something to do with the door switches. I would recommend testing the Switch,Push Button 6600JB1010A to see if they are faulty. The switch is spring-loaded and is a generally closed type of switch meaning there should be no continuity when the button is pushed, and continuity through the switch when it is no longer engaged. This can be tested with a multimeter. If the switches are tested and are working properly, the issue is probably with the electronic control board in the unit. I hope this helps!

Both lights in refrigerator section, as a pair, either work, or not, when door is opened. A couple of years ago this same phenomenon happened and after a couple of days seemed to fix itself. Now, it's back and it's been with us two days now. Also, when these episodes occur, there is a mild electrical smell. Don't think it's the bulbs. Your thoughts?
For model number LFX25950SW
Hello John, thank you for your question. It sounds like the sockets may need to be replaced. We would recommend removing the bulbs, and inspecting the sockets for burns or breaks in the wires. PartSelect Number PS3529355 that is the part number for the socket assembly. I hope this helps!

I’ve replaced the refrigerator door switch three times and now it is not functioning again. How many times should this happen. This is getting ridiculous.
For model number 79578099901
Hello Pam, Thank you for the question. This could be an issue with the wiring to the switch or the light socket shorting out the Switch. We suggest checking the wiring. We hope this helps!

What is a multi meter?
Hello Ladine, Thank you for the question. A Multi Meter is a tool used to test electrical parts for Ohms and continuity ect. Here is a video that may help. Good luck with the repair!

No light in fridge. When i push the door switch, the fridge/freezer temp readouts toggle on/off (located in same assembly as two light bulbs), but lights do not come on. Is switch working then? Maybe light socket is the culprit?
For model number 795.76203.901
Hello and thank you for writing.
It certainly sounds more like it could be a faulty light socket PS3529355 rather than the switch you should check the part(s) for signs of damage or test with a multimeter, and replace the part(s) as needed. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

Remove and replace light switch
Video makes it look easy. Kenmore refrigerator does not have "groove" along the right hand side of switch that allows for pushing down on release. Used a thin screwdriver to get under to push while holding switch edge with pliers. Kept slipping. Tape sides to avoid scratching inside of refrigerator.

Fridge light would not come on.
After watching a few iTunes videos I was able to order the light switch from part select and within a week I had the new switch. I had a little trouble getting the switch out. I used a flat screw driver and taped around the edge to keep from damaging the wall inside. I found the clip on the right side and had to use some force to get it popped out, you may need to use pliers to disconnect the switch.

Light stopped working
Have had the Sears repairman come to the house to replace this part in 5 minutes for +$100.. twice. When my dad's stopped working, ordered the part and replaced it myself for the cost of the part and shipping. Use a screw driver to pry the right side of the switch and pull out. Best to watch a youtube video first. Takes about 5 minutes.

Refrigerator light not working. If I would flick the button it would go on for a minute but not stay on.
The old switch was a little hard to get out....took me a couple tries. I couldn’t move the frig out to unplug it, so just shut the power off in the kitchen. But, I was happy that’s what the problem was and so happy to have the light back on......it was probably three years it didn’t work!

Lights out on refrigerator
Unplugged the refrigerator, Taped around the edges of switch as I had read to prevent possible scratches, used very thin flathead screwdriver to pry out old switch, unplugged old switch, plugged in new switch, put it back in opening, plugged fridge back in, and I had beautiful light! Hardest part was unplugging the refrigerator!

Part came as expected, quality part. Didn't need a manual to replace it. If you have a pocket screw driver and an automotive plastic trim tool, it's easy.
