WR23X23343 - GE Refrigerator Switch

This GE Refrigerator Switch (WR23X23343) is a genuine part, compatible with GE brand refrigerators. It's designed to control electrical power to components and detect when the refrigerator door is opened or closed. This includes on/off switches that govern the main power, thermostat and timer switches that cycle refrigeration and defrost heaters, and interior lights. Magnetic and mechanical door switches are specifically tasked with activating lights and delaying cooling when the door is opened. Also known as a "door switch," it routes electricity to individual parts while providing inputs to the control systems. When your refrigerator's switch fails, it can disable numerous functions. Symptoms of a failing switch include inability to power on components, issues with cycling refrigeration or defrost heaters, and interior lights failing to activate or deactivate properly. Replacing a faulty switch generally involves simple connections and screws, restoring performance efficiently. Be sure to verify your refrigerator's model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
