50284547002 Genuine Fridge Door Switch for Electrolux Group Fridges and Fridge Freezers, Also Listed as 1446958

Part 50284547002 is a genuine Electrolux group door switch for fridges, also listed under the Electrolux number 1446958. It's the switch the door presses as it closes, telling the fridge whether the door is open or shut. Check your old switch for either number, or send us the model number from the rating plate inside the fridge, and we'll confirm the fit before you order.

Fridge light not working or staying on? Test the door switch

When the door closes, it presses the switch and the interior light goes off. Open the door and the switch releases, turning the light on. On some fridges the same switch also controls the fan or a door alarm. A worn or sticking switch causes a light that won't come on, flickers, or stays on with the door shut, which adds heat inside the cabinet. Press the switch by hand with the door open to check. If the light doesn't respond, or the button stays stuck in, the switch is the likely fault.

Swapping the fridge door switch

Unplug the fridge before you start, as the switch carries mains voltage. Most door switches clip into the cabinet liner and can be eased out with a plastic trim tool. Photograph the wire positions, move them across one at a time and press the new switch in until it clicks home. Plug back in and check the light goes off when you press the button.
