Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I access the door switch on my Amana refrigerator?
The door switch is typically located inside the refrigerator compartment, near the door frame. It might be covered by a small plastic housing that can be pried off with a flathead screwdriver. Be careful not to damage the surrounding plastic.
•Where can I find a replacement door switch for my Amana refrigerator model?
You can find replacement door switches at most appliance parts retailers, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores. You'll need the model number of your refrigerator to ensure you get the correct part. Websites like AppliancePartsPros.com, RepairClinic.com, and Sears Parts Direct are good resources.
•What voltage should I expect to see at the door switch when the door is open and closed?
Typically, the door switch circuit operates at a low voltage, around 5V DC or 12V DC. When the door is closed (switch activated), you should see close to 0V DC. When the door is open (switch deactivated), you should see the full voltage (5V or 12V, depending on the system) present.
