Replace with new switch. this is the third switch i have replaced in 10 years. the only part, besides a light bulb, that has gone bad. obviously this is a problem with this model for Kenmore, or just poor switch design.

Ice crystals appearing on the face of the freezer draws

Part Select had a great video which made the repair easy, using a putty knife to start removing the freeze door gasket. Once removed the install is simple just snap the new gasket into the track, but start at the corner. Other company's have a video requiring you to remove the entire freezer compartment out of the appliance, unnecessary waste of time and labor.

The two deep shelf bins on the right hand door split from either the weight of the sauce bottles or manhandling by the cleaners.

1. I ordered a shallow bin which fit the left hand door by mistake as I couldn't enlarge the pictures. So when it arrived and I realized it fit the left door but not the right door I went back on line and had a chat with a wonderful chat person who ordered and sent the 2 right hand shelves., As it happens the drawings on the website were so small I did not realize that the bottom right hand shelf should have been shallower to accommodate the vegetable bin on the bottom of the refrigerator. So I removed the butter bin with the flip top and moved all the shelves up to clear the vegetable drawer and give me the same amount of storage as I had to begin with. I also think the replacement bins are a marginally heavier plastic and therefor may last longer.

I had a broken door shelf

These are very flimsy and brake easily. But it is easy to replace. Slide out, slide in. However, I received the wrong door shelf so the repair is impossible.

Insert a second screwdriver into the gap to press the plastic tab back slightly and this should release the part. 4. pull the part out and unplug it, you may have to pry back some small tabs on the sides, 5. Plug in the new switch 6. plug in the refrigerator the light should come on, if not tighten the connection 7. Insert new switch back into its slot, it should snap in place. Done!

bad switch

The 2 minute or so video was not exactly matching the model that we had but the instructions were very good and important. The switch was a little difficult to get out from the side of the refrigerator.

Lights didn't come on when door was opened

I have moderate to good mechanical skills, but getting the old switch out was a sizeable challenge. Since this switch suffered some damage during extraction, I was lucky to have ordered a new one to replace it. Reinstall took approximately 90 seconds. PartSelect saved me an expensive service call.
