• Restores smooth open/close action of the dispenser door
• Common symptoms: loose or fallen flapper, poor chute seal, frost or condensation in the dispenser area, and ice clumping near the chute

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing the dispenser
• Carefully remove the dispenser bezel/control panel to access the ice chute door assembly
• Note spring orientation and retainer position; transfer components to the new retainer
• Verify flapper movement and seal before reassembly and restoring power

The Ice Door Assembly is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is integral to the ice dispenser system, controlling access to the ice chute. This component ensures the efficient delivery of ice cubes or crushed ice when activated and seals off the chute when not in use to maintain the freezer's temperature and prevent frost buildup.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Door Assembly include:

• Frost or ice buildup around the dispenser area
• Ice escaping from the dispenser when not in use
• Failure to dispense ice
• Noise during operation indicating misalignment or malfunction

Causes of a bad Ice Door Assembly can include mechanical wear from frequent use, failure of the spring mechanism or solenoid that operates the door, or damage to the sealing surfaces that leads to air leaks.

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

The Ice Door Spring is an OEM part compatible with GE refrigerators. It is responsible for providing tension and support to the ice chute door, allowing it to open and close smoothly. When you activate the ice dispenser, the spring helps to release the door and allow the ice to pass through. After dispensing, the spring assists in closing the door to prevent cold air leakage and maintain the desired temperature inside the refrigerator.

You should replace the ice door spring if it loses tension or breaks, which can happen due to regular wear and tear, frequent use, or accidental damage. A faulty spring can lead to issues with the ice dispenser's operation and overall efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad ice door spring may include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the ice chute door
• Ice dispensing issues, such as the door not opening when the dispenser is activated
• Cold air leakage from the ice chute area
• Ice buildup on the front of the icemaker

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

This dispenser crank links the dispenser solenoid and the ice chute door. When you press the dispenser lever, the crank pivots to open and close the ice door so cubes or crushed ice can dispense cleanly without warm air leaking into the freezer.

• Connects the solenoid to the ice chute door to control door movement
• Helps seal the chute when not dispensing to reduce frost and moisture issues
• Common failure signs include ice door not opening/closing, constant frost around chute, or warm/moist air leakage at dispenser
• Can cause ice clumping, frost buildup, or water/ice dispensed irregularly when worn or broken

• Disconnect power before servicing the dispenser area
• Access typically requires removing the dispenser front panel and trim; use care with plastic tabs and wiring
• Note linkage orientation to the solenoid and door flap before removal
• Inspect related parts for wear while open

The Refrigerator Union Connector is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for connecting the water supply lines from the kitchen plumbing to the refrigerator, allowing water to flow to the ice maker and water dispenser. The plastic connector assists your water dispenser by joining two 5/16 inch x 5/16 inch plastic water lines. Over time, Union Connectors can crack or break under pressure. 

Causes of a bad Union Connector include wear and tear from repeated use, exposure to extreme fluctuations or surges in water pressure, or damage from accidental mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad Refrigerator Union Connector include:

• Water leaks at or near the connector area 
• Inconsistent or no water flow to the ice maker/dispenser
