They do not share their breakdowns with other vendors. Below is the part/switch. It looks like the side of the door shelf should close the switch. Part number: 215486600

Perhaps the switch is only actuating when it's actuator is pushed all the way down but should be activated when the plunger is lets say pushed 75% of the way down. This is just a guess. You could add a peel and stick foot (small rubber type) or one of those cabinet door silencing pads to the side of the door insert to push the switch further closed when the door is closed. Or just replace the switch to see if that does the trick.
