W11123943 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Switch

This Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Switch (W11123943) is a genuine part compatible with Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag refrigerators. Also known as a "rocker switch", this component plays a crucial role in your refrigerator's overall functionality by detecting the opening and closing of the door. When the door is closed, the switch completes an electrical circuit, enabling the refrigerator to cool efficiently and maintain the desired temperature. Conversely, when the door is opened, it interrupts the circuit, conserving energy by preventing the cooling system from running unnecessarily. Additionally, the door switch serves as a vital safety feature by disengaging certain functions such as the ice dispenser or interior lighting when the door is open.

If you notice your refrigerator failing to maintain temperature, the interior light staying on when the door is closed, or the dispenser functions operating erratically, it might be time to replace the door switch. If experiencing any of these symptoms, consider the Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Switch (W11123943) for your repair needs. Before purchasing, please verify your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
