It controls the power to the ice maker.
By design the ice maker won't function when the door is open. It is the ice maker that controls the operation of the ice maker water inlet solenoid.
The ice maker may not work due to the switch contacts being open circuit when operated e.g. corroded etc.

It may be that even though the light works the ice maker doesn't due to the switch contacts for the ice maker circuit being open circuit when operated e.g. corroded etc.

Here's an electrical drawing image of how a changeover switch works in comparison to a make switch which is also used in the refrigerator (part #14 cabinet parts) Ignore the bit that shows to dispenser/ice maker as I used the image before for a different model but the principle is the same for the switch. Yours is ice maker only.
