Constant use can cause actuator pads to become worn out or damaged.

Symptoms of bad pads include:

• Intermittent or unreliable dispensing
• Increased difficulty activating the dispensers
• Dispensers activating on their own without input

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

• May resolve clicking or grinding noises from the dispenser area

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove dispenser trim/control panel to access the ice door assembly; handle wiring carefully
• Note linkage and wire orientation before removal to ensure proper reassembly
• After installation, test the dispenser to verify the door opens/closes and seals the chute
