I have tried sliding a blade under the switch faceplate but it will not budge. Should I be applying more force or is there another way to proceed?

You can see from the different views of it that there are tabs that latch it to the refrigerator body. [COLOR="Red"]First, unplug the unit.[/COLOR] Then, gently pry along the sides of the switch as you also exert an outward pressure on the flange. The switch will pop out, The replacement just pops back in. Part number: AP4127249
