This drip tray in a Midnight finish sits at the dispenser area to catch minor drips and splashes, helping keep your door clean and dry. It also refreshes appearance if the original tray is cracked, stained, or missing.

• Collects drips under the dispenser to help prevent water from running down the door or onto the floor
• Provides a stable landing for cups and glasses during dispensing
• Restores a clean look if the old tray is worn or discolored
• Typical symptoms: puddling at the dispenser, mineral buildup, or a loose/warped tray

• Pull the old tray straight out; some models require lifting the front edge first
• Clean the recess thoroughly before installing the new tray
• Align tabs and press evenly until fully seated—do not force
• Avoid activating the dispenser during installation; wipe with mild soap and water only

This separator is a molded plastic divider that helps keep ice organized inside the ice bin for smoother dispensing and less clumping. It restores proper spacing so ice moves freely during dispense cycles. What it does:

• Divides and guides ice inside the ice bin to reduce jamming and clumping
• Helps improve ice feed into the auger or dispenser chute
• Reduces shifting and rattling of ice during door movement
• Restores intended bin geometry after a cracked or missing divider

• One separator

• Unplug the refrigerator or shut off power before working on the ice bin or dispenser
• Empty the ice bin and remove any loose ice to avoid spills during replacement
• Snap the separator into the molded slots in the ice bin; no tools typically required

• Restores a tight fit where original hardware is missing, damaged, or stripped
• Typical symptoms: loose paneling, buzzing/rattling sounds, or parts that won't stay fastened

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Replace one fastener at a time to preserve alignment and match to the original hardware
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Do not overtighten into sheet metal

• Channels water from the supply line through the dispenser area for normal dispense operation.
• Provides the structural mounting for the dispenser valve and actuator components.
• Common symptoms it can address: leaking or dripping at the dispenser, visible cracks or broken spigot housing, or intermittent water flow from the dispenser.
• Works with existing dispenser valve and seals when those components are undamaged.

• Disconnect power to the appliance and shut off the water supply before starting work.
• Access may require removing the refrigerator door panel or inner dispenser bezel.
• Inspect and replace any worn O-rings or seals during reassembly to prevent leaks; tighten fasteners only to specified torque if provided by the manufacturer.
