This dispenser switch is the small electrical switch behind the dispenser lever/paddle. When pressed, it signals the control to dispense, helping restore a responsive lever feel and consistent ice or water dispensing.

  • Detects lever/paddle movement and closes the circuit to start dispensing
  • Helps fix: no ice or water when the lever is pressed
  • Helps fix: must press very hard or hold the lever "just right"
  • Helps fix: intermittent operation or a stuck-on dispenser due to a failing switch
What's included: 1 dispenser switch Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if working near water lines
  • Access the switch behind the dispenser panel/escutcheon; carefully release trim and tabs as designed for your model
  • Note wire positions; move connectors to the new switch in the same locations (NO/NC/COM as applicable)
  • Before reassembly, verify a positive "click" and confirm the switch changes continuity when actuated
