Part 8582405058065 Refrigerator Door Light Switch
Purpose
Signals the control board to turn the interior lights on or off when the door is opened.
Details
The 8582405058065 is a genuine OEM door light switch (sometimes listed as a plunger switch) for Frigidaire and Electrolux refrigerators. This mechanical switch is typically mounted in the cabinet frame and is depressed by the refrigerator door when closed. When the door is opened, the plunger extends, completing the electrical circuit to activate the interior LED or incandescent lighting. It also frequently signals the refrigerator to resume cooling and stop the circulation fan while the door is open. If your interior lights won't turn on, stay on even when the door is closed (which can cause heat buildup), or the water dispenser won't activate, this switch may be stuck or electrically defective. Replacing the switch restores normal light operation and ensures the appliance correctly detects the door's position.
Included Items
One push-button light switch; installation usually involves popping the old switch out of the liner with a flat-head screwdriver and reconnecting the wire leads.
