Additional information
This refrigerator reed switch, part number 5748840100, is a magnetic switch used within the refrigerators control system. The switch detects a nearby magnet and sends a signal to the appliance control board to indicate a change in position or status.
If the reed switch fails, the refrigerator may not detect the expected signal from the associated component. You might notice interior lights not responding correctly, display functions behaving unexpectedly, or features that depend on position sensing not operating as intended.
Unplug the refrigerator before installing this part. Access the switch location according to your models layout, disconnect the wiring connector, and remove the mounting hardware if present. Install the replacement switch in the same position, reconnect the wiring, and reinstall any panels or covers before restoring power.
