Frigidaire 241685704 Dispenser Actuator (Ice/Water) OEM Part

Flipped the circuit breaker to turn the power to the fridge off. Had to remove the faceplate to the ice/water dispenser. Had to remove approx 16 screws and unplug the circuit board. Removed water tube (That was the hardest part) ! Had to disconnect and remove the broken part and reattach the new part. Then put everything back together again.

Purchased new "Actuator." Watched YouTube video (scanning and without sound) several days before doing work. Replaced Actuator as per video. Two heads-up items: 1-The control wiring ribbon unplugs from the front plate/control button panel. This may have been covered in the video and I missed it because I wasn't paying close attention. Until I realized this, holding all of the parts together while removing the inner plate was a challenge. The ribbon easily unplugs from and reconnects to the front plate. 2-The water tube slips through the hole in the inner chassis. It can be pushed out from underneath using an object about the size of a pencil. Again, this may have been covered in the video but I assumed that it was a press-fit connection over a fitting and spent time trying to uncouple it when all that was needed was sliding it out. Everything else went extremely smoothly. Having to make this repair is a bit annoying since the failure happened at an obvious weak point on the assembly. I'm amazed the the part lasted as long as it did (+/- 10 years).

I replaced it per the instructional video you provided.

Replaced actuator by copying the video for replacement.
