Refrigerator Light Switch WR23X31507 OEM Part

Refrigerator Light Switch<br /><br />This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) light switch is designed for use with a range of GE refrigerator models, including those from Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, as well as select Sears-Kenmore models.
