When I attempted to replace the funnel ice dispenser on my GE GSL25JFRFBS, I discovered that the housing shield itself was deformed (I used a hair dryer to melt the ice so that water would flow). I was hoping to see the old springs and how they looked installed but there were no springs. My wife and I couldn't recall seeing any one of the springs on the floor or elsewhere. Could you send me a drawing on how these springs look when installed? I couldn't figure it out using the freezer door parts breakdown drawing and could not understand the explanation on the answers to other questions. Thank you so much for your help!

Gq for Model Number GSL25JFRFBS

Answer GQ, The U - shaped end of the spring hooks onto the dispenser flapper arm (funnel lever) which the flapper hooks to. Look at the old one for old spring marks. The straight end of the spring rest onto the back of the dispenser housing. This is the end that is turned one revolution to create the flapper tension.

Hello. I have a problem with the spring part ap4510574 putting it back on. I read the previous post, still no help. I'm a machinist and good with blueprints and instuctions but at the moment i'm lost. The diagram shows the spring on the right side looking from the front.The only place I see were this could go would be on the funnel lever. Is this corect or not? Thanks

Answer HI Andy. The U - shaped end of the spring hooks onto the dispenser flapper arm (funnel lever) which the flapper hooks to. Look at the old one for old spring marks. The straight end of the spring rest onto the back of the dispenser housing. This is the end that is turned one revolution to create the flapper tension. Thank You.

I'm getting a lot of frost at the opening under the ice maker and I believe I have found that the door flap doesn't shut all the way without a shove. I think this may be why ice forms and the freezer door gets stuck. Here are my questions, do you have to disassemble the inside of the freezer door to be able to change this part or is it accessible form the front? Is this a common reason frost would form in the ice shoot?

Bobby for Model Number GSS23WGSC CC

Answer Hello Bobby, Yes, that is the reason for the frost and ice build up. You can remove the dispenser cover and access the parts to repair the broken flapper. There is no need to do the repair from the inside of the unit.

I'm not sure how to reinstall this part - any advice?

Neil for Model Number gss22wgpaww

Answer Hello Neil. Slide the spring onto the shaft of the crank door and lock the clipped end onto the crank. Then twist the spring WR49X10233 1 round, applying tension and install the crank. When installed properly, it will hold the flap shut. Hope this helps.
