Parts for Ge DFE29JSDASS: 01 - Dispenser Door Parts

The Flapper Door Spring is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It ensures the proper operation of the ice dispenser's flapper door by providing the necessary tension for the door to open and close correctly. This helps in maintaining the internal temperature and preventing warm air from entering the freezer.

You should replace the flapper door spring if it becomes worn out or damaged. Over time, the spring can lose its tension due to constant use, become bent or broken from mishandling, or suffer from rust and corrosion.

Symptoms of a bad flapper door spring include:

• The ice dispenser flapper door not closing properly
• Warm air entering the freezer compartment
• Increased frost buildup around the ice chute
• Unusual noises when the ice dispenser is used

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

The Refrigerator Display Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is the user interface component that displays important information, such as temperature settings, operational modes, and any error codes or notifications. NOTE: Control board is NOT included. Must be ordered separately.

Symptoms of a faulty refrigerator display assembly include:

• No display or a blank screen
• Erratic or flickering display
• Difficulty reading or interpreting the information on the display

Causes of a bad display assembly can include electrical malfunctions, physical damage from impact or moisture exposure, or simply normal wear and tear over time.

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

This small return spring provides the tension needed for a lever, latch, or flap mechanism in select refrigerators, helping the component move smoothly and snap back to its correct resting position after use.

• Restores proper tension so the linked mechanism operates smoothly and returns to neutral
• Helps doors, latches, or levers close or engage consistently
• Typical failure signs: weak or missing spring force, parts that don't spring back, poor closure, or rattling
• Replacing a fatigued spring can improve feel and reliability of the mechanism

• Disconnect power; turn off the water supply if working near dispenser or ice components
• Note spring orientation and take reference photos before removal
• Use needle-nose pliers and control stored tension to avoid injury
• Inspect related clips, pins, or brackets and replace if worn

The Dispenser Actuator is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part activates the dispenser mechanism, allowing for the controlled release of ice or water when engaged.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser actuator include:

• The dispenser not responding when pressed
• Inconsistent or intermittent dispensing of ice or water
• A loose or wobbly actuator lever
• Unusual noises when attempting to use the dispenser

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

This duct door assembly is the refrigerator's air damper door. It opens and closes to control cold-air flow from the freezer into the fresh-food compartment, helping maintain stable temperatures and reduce warm spots or localized frosting.

• Regulates airflow between freezer and refrigerator compartments
• Helps the unit reach and maintain set temperatures
• Seals the duct when closed to limit moisture and frost migration
• Also called an air diffuser/damper door; failure may show as poor airflow, fridge too warm, items freezing near the vent, or clicking from the damper area

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the air duct/diffuser in the fresh-food section and remove its cover as needed
• Note the door's orientation; transfer any reusable seals or clips from the original if applicable
• After installation, the door moves freely and the vent path is unobstructed

This Duct Door Spring returns the dispenser ice chute door to the closed position and helps maintain a tight seal at the dispenser opening, reducing warm-air leaks, frost buildup, and melting or clumping ice.

• Provides the return tension for the dispenser duct/ice chute door after dispensing
• Helps keep cold air in and warm air out to limit frost and condensation at the dispenser
• Can reduce frost in the ice chute or ice clumping caused by air leaks

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing the dispenser
• Access the dispenser assembly; remove front panel/trim as required by your model
• Note spring orientation and engage it correctly on the duct door and pivot
• After installation, verify the door moves freely and seals fully before reassembly

The Motor Duct Door is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is the cover that houses the evaporator fan motor and ductwork in the refrigerator. The motor and ductwork circulate cold air throughout the unit to maintain even temperatures for food storage.

Causes of a bad motor duct door can include failed seals that compromise cooling performance or damage to the door and hinges that prevent proper opening and closing. 

Symptoms of a bad motor duct door include: 

• Warm or lukewarm air inside the refrigerator sections  
• Improper airflow causes warmer or colder spots
• Difficulty opening or closing the duct door

Replacing with this genuine GE OEM part allows for optimal air circulation throughout the refrigerator. This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Fastener Door Handle is an OEM component for GE refrigerators. This door handle provides a comfortable grip for accessing refrigerator shelves and bins. It attaches securely to the refrigerator door through durable metal fasteners. 

Causes for a bad door handle could be cracks, damage, or stripped fastener holes resulting in a loose or detached handle. Regularly gripping and lifting may also cause normal wear over time.

Symptoms of a failing door handle include:

• The handle detaching completely from the door  
• Looseness making the handle wobbly or unstable to hold
• Sharp edges or broken parts posing a safety risk

This OEM GE handle is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Set Screw is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. The set screw fits into the handle assembly, ensuring a tight and stable connection to the refrigerator door. This set screw is essential for preventing the door handle from becoming loose or coming off, which can affect the ease of opening and closing the refrigerator door. 

Causes of a malfunctioning Set Screw can vary. Normal wear and tear is a common issue, causing the screw to strip or loosen over time. Incorrect installation is another factor.  

Symptoms of a bad Set Screw include:

• A loose refrigerator door handle, which may wobble or detach partially from the door.
• Difficulty in opening or closing the refrigerator door due to a lack of secure grip.
• The need to frequently retighten the door handle.

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

This is the top-left refrigerator door bin used on models with in-door ice. It restores secure storage and organization on the door so smaller items stay put when you open and close the refrigerator. What it does:

Symptoms of a bad ice door bin include:

• Difficulty opening or closing the ice door  
• Ice cubes scattering out of the bin when accessed
• Inability to contain or guide ice for easy removal
• Leaks that allow water to pool underneath 

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

Replacement fresh food door gasket that seals the refrigerator compartment to keep cold air in and moisture out. Restores proper door sealing to help reduce frost buildup, condensation, and uneven temperatures from a worn seal. What it does:

• Creates an airtight seal around the fresh food door to help maintain consistent internal temperatures.
• Keeps warm, humid air from entering the fresh food compartment, reducing frost and ice buildup.
• Helps prevent water pooling and door-edge condensation caused by a failing seal.
• Can improve cooling performance when the original gasket is cracked, torn, or no longer flexible.

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off power at the breaker before beginning work to avoid electrical hazards.
• Remove food and shelves as needed for access; clean and dry the door frame surface before installing the new gasket.
• Warm the gasket (room temperature or gentle warm water) to increase flexibility for easier alignment; press firmly into the channel to seat evenly.
• If the gasket requires screws or adhesive, follow the OEM instructions.
