WR23X10783 - GE Refrigerator Switch

This GE Refrigerator Switch (WR23X10783) is a genuine part specifically designed for GE refrigerators. It's compatible with various GE models, making it an essential replacement for your appliance. The switch functions by controlling electrical power to different components within the refrigerator and detecting when the door is opened or closed. By doing so, it plays a crucial role in managing the refrigerator’s main power, cycling refrigeration, the defrost heaters, and the interior lights. It's also responsible for activating the lights and delaying cooling whenever the door is opened, thanks to its magnetic and mechanical properties. Also known as a dispenser switch, it controls the dispensing of ice or water when you press the dispenser lever. If your refrigerator is failing to dispense ice or water, or if certain components seem unresponsive, it may be due to a faulty switch. Replacing a switch is typically straightforward, involving simple connections and screws. Remember to verify your refrigerator model number before purchasing this part, to ensure compatibility.
