Frigidaire Light Switch 240505801 OEM Part

Refrigerator/Freezer Door Switch

If the interior light in your refrigerator does not illuminate, it may be necessary to replace the door switch. This component fits Frigidaire and Electrolux refrigerators and is also compatible with select Sears-Kenmore models. As an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, it meets the precise specifications required by these brands.

Situated inside the refrigerator door, the switch plays an essential role in managing the interior lighting. Its function is to activate the light upon door opening, thereby enhancing the user’s ability to see and access food items.

Signs that the light switch may be defective include:
- The light remains off when the door is opened.
- The light unpredictably turns on and off.
- The switch shows signs of physical wear, such as being swollen or loose.

These problems generally occur due to wear from frequent usage or insufficient cleaning. Compared to other refrigerator parts, switches may experience quicker degradation because of their regular operation.

This replacement unit is also compatible with some models from Electrolux, Gibson, and Kenmore.

By installing a new light switch, one can effectively restore the functionality of the refrigerator light.
