If the ice dispenser lever is broken, replacing it is a straightforward DIY fix. The ice dispenser lever is located inside the ice dispenser opening on the left side of the freezer door. When pressed, it activates an electrical switch that turns on the auger motor to dispense ice. Over time, the plastic lever can crack and break, preventing ice from being dispensed. Replacing a broken ice dispenser lever restores ice dispensing functionality quickly and easily.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need a replacement ice dispenser lever WP2255431B, you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/whirlpool-lever-ice-hard-wp2255431b-ap6006816.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">order it here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
