Customer Questions and Answers for Wire Actuator (Dispenser) by Ge

This wire actuator operates the refrigerator dispenser mechanism so pressing the dispenser lever completes the circuit that dispenses water or ice. Replaces a bent or broken dispenser actuator to restore normal dispenser lever function. What it does:

• Transfers user push force from the dispenser lever to the internal switch or door mechanism.
• Helps the dispenser activate water or ice when the lever is pressed.
• Commonly fails by bending, breaking, or losing tension, causing the dispenser to not respond or to stick.
• Works with the dispenser lever assembly and internal actuation switch to complete user input.

• One wire actuator (single piece as shown)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Installation typically requires removing the dispenser bezel and possibly the inner door panel; handle parts carefully to avoid damage.
• Use basic hand tools; keep fasteners organized for reassembly.
