Light Switch broke

An easy job for smaller hands. Removed the two bolts holding the light cover. Removed two electrical connections from the old switch by pinching the retaining clip,removed the switch, snapped in the new one and re-attached the connectors. Your online illustrations helped me to know that the plastic housing for the light switch would only swing down so far and was not intended to be removed. Saved me from breaking that plastic cover's tabs. This home repair saved me more than 5 times the cost of hiring a professional to do it. Very happy homeowner.

Lights inside refrigerator not working

I used a flat-head screwdriver to pop out the old light rocker switch. Then, I unplugged the wires, plugged them into the new light rocker switch, and then popped the new switch into the hole. That's it! Lights began working again.

The light switch terminal is used in refrigerators and freezers to allow you to see inside your appliance by turning on when the fridge door is open and turning off when the door is closed. This part is 1.12 inches in length, 1 inches in width, and 1.75 inches in height. It weighs 0.026 pounds. If your light switch terminal is damaged or the light does not turn on when fridge door is open, replacing the light switch terminal can fix the problem. As a safety precaution, remember to unplug your fridge from the power source before beginning this installation. Refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer for further installation instructions and a detailed guide.

Customer Repair Stories

The light would not turn on when the refrigerator door was opened

I removed the plastic portion to get to the switch and wires. I removed the old switch by disconnecting the two wires and pushing it out of its setting.

I discovered the old switch only had 2 prongs where the new switch had 3. Once I figured which 2 of the 3 prongs would light the lightbulb,
I then connected the two wires to the correct prongs of the new switch. I pushed the new switch into its setting and replaced the plastic portion on the refrigerator. Voila, success. The refrigerator door now comes on when its door is opened.

Thanks for the having the part and getting it at our door step in 3 days.
