This ice door spring restores the closing tension on the dispenser chute door. Replacing a fatigued spring helps the flap seal properly after dispensing, reducing warm-air leaks that cause frost buildup and ice clumping around the chute. What it does:
- Provides return tension so the ice chute door closes after dispensing
- Helps maintain a tight seal to limit frost, condensation, and air leaks
- Can resolve a chute door that sticks open/closed or won't fully close
- Reduce rattling or poor ice flow caused by a loose flapper
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
- Remove dispenser trim/control panel to access the ice door assembly
- Note spring orientation on the flapper; transfer/install carefully without over-bending
- Smooth flap movement and a proper seal before reassembly
Also known as:
- Dispenser door spring
- Flapper spring
- Ice chute door spring
This part fixes the following symptoms
-
Ice maker won't dispense ice
