216822900 Frigidaire Door Switch

This product is a light switch for refrigerators, compatible with brands including Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and select Kenmore models. It is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed specifically for use in Frigidaire appliances, though it also fits some appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore brand. The switch operates the refrigerator's interior light, turning it on when the door opens and off when the door closes.

Common reasons for the door switch to fail include normal deterioration of the electrical contacts due to frequent use, and corrosion of internal components caused by moisture.

When the switch malfunctions, you might notice that the interior light does not activate upon opening the door, or it may remain on even when the door is closed, which can lead to overheating. Additionally, a faulty switch can affect the refrigerator’s ability to maintain consistent temperatures, as it may not properly signal that the door has been shut.
