Electrolux Refrigerator Switch

The Door switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This part turns the light on/off as the door opens and closes.

Causes of a faulty door switch include normal wear of electrical contacts from repetitive on/off cycles. Moisture exposure may potentially corrode internal connections.

Symptoms of a bad light/switch include:

• The interior light fails to turn on when the door is opened
• The light stays on when the door is closed, leading to potential overheating
• An impact on the refrigerator’s temperature regulation due to the switch not signaling the door's closure
