Problem
Drawer light kept randomly coming on. The sensor for it being closed wasn't working causing the alarm to chime and for the refrigerator to not run, thinking that the drawer was left open.
Tools
Replaced entire right side drawer rail that includes the wiring harness and drawer sensor. Only needed a 10mm wrench, small flat head and philip screw drivers.
Repair & Advice
My refrigerator was manufactured Nov 2010. The replacement side rail has a few upgrades. The wire harness to the sensor has a new capacitor that the original never had. My guess is to protect the sensor from any electrical surg. I had to switch the plastic gear used to keep the side rails in sync. The new gear socket to hold the rod between the side rails is much larger than the original. The front cover no longer has an access panel to the connector. Be sure to connect and secure wires before mounting the side rail with the philip screw. So far everything is working perfectly.
