3157898002 Genuine Door Light Micro Switch for Electrolux Group Appliances, Also 315789800, Door Operated Light Switch

3157898002, also listed as 315789800, is a genuine Electrolux group micro switch for a door light. It's the small switch that the door presses as it opens and closes, telling the light when to come on. Electrolux doesn't name the appliance in the description, so check the number on your old switch and compare its shape and terminals before ordering.

Light staying on or not coming on? Check the door switch

A door light switch is a small plunger or lever switch that changes state as the door moves. When it sticks, wears or its contacts burn, the light may stay on with the door shut, stay off when the door opens, or flicker as the door moves. A light left on inside a closed appliance wastes power and can add unwanted heat. Before replacing the switch, try a new globe and check that the plunger isn't simply jammed with grease or food. A multimeter across the terminals confirms whether the switch changes over properly.

Replacing the door light switch

Unplug the appliance or switch it off at the isolator before removing any panel near the switch. Take a photo of the wiring so each wire returns to the same terminal. Micro switches often clip into a bracket, so release the clips gently. Fit the new switch, refit the panel and check the light turns on and off as the door moves.
