Part 297243800 Door Light / Freezer Lamp Switch
Purpose
Activate interior light when door opens
Details
The 297243800 is a genuine OEM plunger-style door switch used in Frigidaire / Electrolux refrigerators and freezers. When the door opens, the switch allows the interior (or freezer) light to turn on; when closed, it shuts off the light. If the switch fails (stuck, broken, or unresponsive), the light may not come on, or remain on and drain power. Replacing this switch restores correct lighting behavior and prevents undue electrical wear.
