I've got a bad light switch on the Fresh Food side of this refrigerator, but I can't figure out how to get the old switch out of the unit. I looked at the breakout and that indicates that this is the replacement part, number AP3193221. The picture shows two prongs on the left side of this part, however the way the switch is installed, there is no side to side play to allow me to move the switch to the right. I am guessing that I need to pull the switch directly out, but I can't figure out how to do that without forcing it and likely breaking something given my luck.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

The switch will pry out from the top and bottom where you will see a little catch that holds it in place. I use a butter knife gently on the top then the bottom. You have to turn the switch to get it all the way out because of the plug prongs.
