Whirlpool WP2149705 Door Light Switch for Refrigerator

The Whirlpool WP2149705 Refrigerator Door Light Switch is a small component located near the door frame that plays a role in the operation of the refrigerator's internal lighting. When the refrigerator door is opened, the switch activates an electrical circuit, causing the light to turn on and illuminate the interior for easy visibility. Conversely, when the door is closed, the circuit is interrupted, and the light turns off. If the door light switch is malfunctioning, the light may not turn on, which can hinder visibility inside the refrigerator and potentially lead to food spoilage. Replacing a faulty door light switch can typically be done by most individuals with basic tools and a new switch.
