DA34-00041B - Samsung Refrigerator Door Switch

This Door Switch (DA34-00041B) is a genuine Samsung part designed for refrigerators. Compatible with Samsung models, this door switch enables the refrigerator to cool and maintain the desired temperature by detecting the opening and closing of the refrigerator door. When closed, it completes an electrical circuit, allowing power to flow to the refrigerator components. Once the door is opened, it breaks the circuit, cutting off power to conserve energy and prevent the cooling system from running unnecessarily. Besides energy conservation, the door switch serves as a safety feature by disabling functions like the ice dispenser and interior lighting while the door is open. Symptoms of a failing door switch include the refrigerator running when the door is open, lights staying on or off regardless of door position, or the ice dispenser operating incorrectly. Prior to purchasing, verify your device's model number to ensure compatibility.
