Charles N El Dorado Hills , CA February 13, 2017 Appliance: Model FRIGIDAIRE SIDE-BY-SIDE Ice dispenser would not activate motor to dispense ice I checked with Appliance Parts Pros.com and found out that the likely culprit was a broken Ice Dispenser Actuator Arm. I watched a video on the same site and figured I could change that part. I wanted to confirm it was that part so I took the front section apart. The Ice Dispenser Actuator Arm was in fact broken; the little tab that strikes the switch had broken off. While removing that part, when I unscrewed the right side's mounting screw, that section broke off (brittle plastic). I then ordered the Dispenser Module also. (About $70 for both parts.) I ordered them on a Wednesday evening and they arrived on Friday afternoon (That's Service!!) I paid for normal shipping and the did come from within the State, but still~!!! I managed to remove all the parts (including switches, spring, power panel, etc.) from the Dispenser Module, I installed the Ice Dispenser Actuator Arm; both were fairly easy. When I tried to re-mount the completed Module into the space, I found it absolutely impossible to get the short hard inflexible water hose back into the hole it came from. I tried soaking it in hot water to make it more flexible, used a shaved small cork stuck into it with a pin and string attached to "pull it down in place". Nothing worked! I disconnected the two wires to the water switch, folded this crappy hose back onto itself and taped it in that position. I now have great ice dispensing!!! If I want water, I can walk the 5 long steps to the sink. Besides, I put a bypass into the filter holder years ago because our water is snow melt and better than bottled.

Eric A Providence , UT April 29, 2019 Appliance: Frigidaire Refrigerator GLHS65EHSB6 Appliance would not dispense ice. Found switch arm on dispenser broken and lock down ear on module broken. Parts came on time and fit perfectly. Repair went well but took a little longer than expected as all of the components had to be removed from the broken Dispenser Module and installed on the new Module.

John W Hattiesburg , MS February 14, 2018 Appliance: Frigidaire Refrigerator GLHS66EJSB1 Ice dispenser hinge on dispenser module broke putting ice dispenser in awkward position breaking the tab that pushes the switch Replaced both broken parts. Also ordered for water hose as original was too short causing it to leak at the dispenser. New hose was longer and was able to get the hose all the way through the dispenser hole.

Kelly T Cottonwood Heights , UT November 16, 2021 Appliance: Model FRIGIDAIRE FSC23F7HSB-S/BSXSR Ice lever was broken I purchased a new ice lever part but when I took things apart, the entire housing for the ice and water system as it was also broken. I received the parts and transferred many parts from the old housing to the new. After putting everything back together, it all worked great. I would describe this repair as relatively technical and moderately difficult. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
