Customer Questions and Answers for Ice Door Spring by Ge

4.89 (64)
By: Ge
Part Number: OEM6181029
Manufacturer Part Number: WR2X8663

The Ice Door Spring is an OEM part compatible with GE refrigerators. It is responsible for providing tension and support to the ice chute door, allowing it to open and close smoothly. When you activate the ice dispenser, the spring helps to release the door and allow the ice to pass through. After dispensing, the spring assists in closing the door to prevent cold air leakage and maintain the desired temperature inside the refrigerator.

You should replace the ice door spring if it loses tension or breaks, which can happen due to regular wear and tear, frequent use, or accidental damage. A faulty spring can lead to issues with the ice dispenser's operation and overall efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad ice door spring may include:

  • Difficulty in opening or closing the ice chute door
  • Ice dispensing issues, such as the door not opening when the dispenser is activated
  • Cold air leakage from the ice chute area
  • Ice buildup on the front of the icemaker

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Hello Todd. test for power to the water valve at all times. If there is power there, then the switch WR23X366 in the dispenser is bad. If there is no power there and the water does not turn off, you will need to replace the water valve WR57X10026. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
