Introdução

Use this guide to replace the door sensor or door switch in your Whirlpool Refrigerator.

The door switch detects whether or not the door is open or if the control board thinks it's open. If you're having trouble dispensing ice/water, or if your door light won't turn off, then your door switch might be broken.

This guide will work for most Whirlpool refrigerators. This guide is written with a model WRS315SDHW refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

Note: Some photos show the doors removed for clarity purposes. Removing them is not required and will not change the procedure.

4. Passo 4 Meter the door sensor
  If you own a multimeter, you can test your door sensor's resistance.
  
  Set the multimeter to the resistance or continuity measurement mode.
  
  With the button in its neutral position, the multimeter should read "OL."
  
  With the button pressed, the multimeter should read around 0Ω.
