light switch causes the ice maker to stop working.

The light switch in mine causes the ice maker to stop working. I taped over the switch to keep it from working and that solved the ice maker problem. Go figure.

@jayeff Mine is #WRF535SWHV00

What is the model number of the refrigerator?

The light switch is also used as an indicator to the control board to let it know when the door is open or closed.

The ice maker won't function correctly when the door is open so taping the switch is saying that the door is permanently closed.

It may be easier to change the switch and get the light working again as well

Hi @Polly Bennett

The refrigerator door switch is part #W11384469

The freezer door switch is part #W11396033

Search online using the part # only to find suppliers that suit you best.

Here's a link with a video that may help if you decide to change it

Be safety aware and disconnect the power to the refrigerator when changing the switch as there's lethal AC voltage on it when the power is connected
