Switch stops working

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.

The spring on the mullion was broken so the mullion would not open to seal the other door.

I am a73 year old woman. If I can do this, anyone can. Super easy. Just watch the online video.
