The diverse portfolio of brands under Whirlpool includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Should you require repairs, this authentic replacement known as the door switch, or light switch kit, is available. Its function is to illuminate the interior when the refrigerator door is open and turn off the light when closed.
If you notice the interior light not activating upon opening the door, consider replacing the switch. Required tools include a putty knife and a small flat-head screwdriver. Begin by ensuring the refrigerator is unplugged for safety. Use the tools to carefully extract the old switch. Disconnect the wire harness to remove it completely. For installation of the new switch, attach it to the wire harness, align it with the liner, and secure it into place with a firm press.
This door switch is designed for compatibility with multiple models from Whirlpool's brand family, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Estate, Roper, and Kenmore.
