How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP2060340 / WR2X8663 Ice Door Spring

REPLACED DISPENSER CRANK ARM, SPRING, FLAPPER FOR DISPENSER. THE REPAIR WAS VERY SIMPLE WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. 

Frost inside the freezer from outside air coming in through the dispenser door. Also, black particles on the ice, sometimes in water. So, I watched the videos on Appliance Parts Pros website, ordered up the parts, and installed them. Completely fixed the problem, with no hangups or issues. Saved a service call and markup on the parts and it only took about an hour. The videos were incredibly accurate and helpful. 

Replaced ice door assembly and spring, and ice tray auger and helix (helix was spinning free of auger because worn groove in auger). 

Replaced ice door assembly and ice door spring. Very easy- to-follow directions and video. Very fast shipment of parts. 

Put the new parts on and everything is working fine. My GE appliance is 17 years old. Have been using AppliancePartsPros.com to fix it all those years. 

After much thought I determined that warm air was getting into the ice bin (bucket). The question was how? It occurred to me that the only way for warm air to get in was through the ice door assembly (flapper); also was it simply a worn flapper or was the spring weak causing the flapper not to close tightly. Since I was going to take it apart I might as well replace both to be on the safe side. The instructional video on how was very clear and accurate. Thank you AppliancePartsPros. The price was good and shipping was very fast (1 1/2 days ).
