Whirlpool W11445850 Refrigerator Door Switch
Product Description
The Whirlpool W11445850 is a presumably effortless but essential device within your Whirlpool refrigerator: a door switch. This little switch serves an important function in ensuring optimal operation and energy conservation. The W11445850 switch is located within the refrigerator door frame and is engaged when the door is closed. When the door is closed, the switch completes the electrical circuit. This completed circuit activates numerous features inside the refrigerator. Most crucially, it instructs the compressor to switch on, which begins the cooling process. When the door is opened, the switch disconnects the connection, turning off the compressor and the interior light to save energy.This automatic on/off feature depending on door opening and closing is critical for maintaining consistent cool temperatures within the refrigerator.
