Now we have light!!!
June 18, 2021|S&R A, Marietta Ga
We broke the little plastic switch that makes the light come on when you open the refrigerator door several weeks before we finally ordered a replacement part. It was reasonably priced and it arrived in just a couple of days. My husband installed it in just a couple of minutes and we are sooo glad that now WE HAVE LIGHT IN OUR REFRIGERATOR!

Fairly simple to install
December 22, 2020|Dave W, St Louis, MO
Make sure the electric power is turned OFF! Tools required: A wide blade and a narrow blade screwdrivers will work. A drum brake adjuster tool works even better to pry out the bottom of the switch first. Then reverse the process and it will be great to have a LIGHT again.

The part works, but was very difficult to install
May 05, 2021|Cliff, Lafayettte, CA
The switch works, but was very difficult to install. I repeatedly tried to push the part into the slot (where the former switch fit), however, I would not go in. So, I watched numerous YouTube videos to make sure I was doing it correctly. I was. Finally, I got my hammer and carefully hammered the switch into the slot in the frame. That worked... but the process took too much effort and should not have had to hammer the switch into the slot!

shipping cost is a rig off.
May 12, 2021|Soko, West Chester, Ohio
I bought a part for my refrg that only cost $20. Sears charged me an additional $10 just to send it by mail. Very small part that showed up in my mail box in small envelop. How can you charge such high shipping rates and such small parts??? Crazy!
