Ff Door Switches - GE GYE18JBL Technical Service Manual

FF Door Switches

The FF door switches are AC volt switches that
have Normally Closed contacts (N.C.). The
switches are actuated by the top of the doors to
tell the main board to turn the refrigerator LEDs
on or off.
FF Door Switch Diagnosing
When one of the doors are opened, the switch
contacts are closed allowing 120 VAC to travel to
the main board. When closed, the doors engage
the switch to open the switch contacts, breaking
the 120 VAC circuit to the main board.
