Frigidaire 216822900 Door Light Switch for Refrigerator Freezer

The switch responds to door movement by changing the lighting circuit when the door actuator presses or releases its plunger or lever. This allows the interior light to activate with the door open and turn off when the door is closed.

The listed applications are CALR17LW1, CCFU17M1TW1, CFC07M4AW10, and CFC162RCA. Compare your appliance model number with these applications before ordering to verify that the switch is intended for your unit.

The switch is installed inside the cabinet frame near the door opening, where the door actuator contacts its plunger or lever. Disconnect power before removing the old switch, identify the wiring connection, and confirm that the actuator contacts the switch correctly after fitting.

A light that does not come on when the door opens or remains illuminated after the door closes can point to a problem with the switch. The actuator and wiring should also be checked before replacing the component.

Make sure the switch is connected to the lighting circuit wiring harness and positioned directly in the path of the door actuator. Check that the plunger or lever moves correctly when the door opens and closes.

The switch changes the lighting circuit whenever the door actuator presses or releases its mechanism, so repeated door movement causes corresponding circuit changes. If the light response becomes irregular, inspect the switch and its connection.
