11-4 Door Switch

Function

The switch senses if the door is open or closed.
-

When the door open, lamp on.

- When the door open, the switch give information to Micom.
When the door open, internal contact operate on and off moving plunger of door switch up
and down.

How to
Measure

<Switch, Freezer>

<Switch, Refrigerator>

Check the resistance between connectors 1, 2 and 3, 4 .It means
check whether or not applying an electric current. If there is
resistance, the switch is good.
