Ge WR2X8818 Recess Door Retainer (Dispenser Ice Chute) OEM Part

I replaced the solenoid, door, spring and bucket. The bucket cracked from ice freezing inside it. Ice froze inside the bucket because the solenoid stopped pulling the door closed which allowed hot humid air into the freezer. While I was in there I replaced the dispenser door, spring and crank because they are cheap and the old ones were moldy. The mold is most likely from the door not closing and causing condensation on the parts as well.

Replaced springs, flapper assembly and ice door retainer as described in videos and it was easy. So far so good..water dispenses.

Replaced selanoid and other associated parts. Very easy after watching the videos.

Replaced most of the internal parts including solenoid, control arm flapper, and the springs. The solenoid was the main problem. It had corroded so bad would not move up and down freely.

Replaced all parts using video on Appliance Parts Pros website, which was extremely helpful. My GE Profile model was slightly different from video, but was able to complete the installation with minimal problems, but for the corrosion on the solenoid retaining screws. Another on line video suggested applying 3 in 1 oil -- I used Blaster -- and tapping the corroded screws before removing. Worked perfectly. No other issues & am extremely pleased with the product & the process. Second time I've used APP for repair parts (manifold replacement) on the unit & with the quick turnaround on orders, information available on line, etc. My new "Go To" place for any appliance issues. Figure I saved at least $250 by doing it myself. Keep up the great service & super pricing -- APP is Outstanding!!!
