Parts for Ge GNE26GMDAES: 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 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.
