I believe the light switch that operates the freezer light bulb on my french door with bottom freezer compartment is not working. I have changed the bulb and checked the bulb that was in the freezer area, and both work. In looking at it from the front, the switch is mounted below above and between the freezer trays.
For model number GI0FSAXVY02

Does this SWITCH W11445850 kit comes with the switch and the housing that it goes in as in the picture? Or is it just the switch? I need both parts. Is there a kit for it or do I have to order them separately? Please help
