Refer lights not working, there are two lights and neither worked. Decided the switch was the problem.

The switch fix but did not fix the problem. I assumed the wires go on the same way as on the old switch. Is it possible if one light Burns out, the other will not work either?

Brand new refrigerator door switch for the light broke

The part needed was not available to me so I had to request a service call ... the service tech came out after a week long wait and did not have the switch ... he had to order it which added another 2 week delay to this very simple repair.

Difficulty removing old switch.

Everything went as planned except the cold temperature (freezer door switch located inside freezer) made deflection of the switch locking tab difficult to remove. Letting the switch warm up was not an option.

broken door bin

Part select sent the WRONG part which I returned. They refunded the cost of the bin and tax but did not refund the shipping fee (which was paid to them for shipping me the WRONG part). i'm also out the shipping fee for sending the WRONG part back to them.
Installation was inconsequential; the service was terrible

broken light switch in the freezer

We removed the old switch, unplugged it, plugged the new one in and it was easy to do. But when we tried to put the switch back in we had a very hard time doing it. Eventually got it in, but if it had not been for the difficulty we had getting the new switch to snap in to place, it would have taken under 5 minutes.
