Description

This paddle front switch assembly replaces a worn or failed dispenser paddle so the dispenser responds reliably when pressed. It restores user control for water or ice dispensing on compatible refrigerators. What it does:

• Activates the dispenser control when you press the front paddle
• Replaces a cracked, loose, or non-responsive paddle that won't trigger dispensing
• Stops intermittent or no-response dispenser behavior caused by a faulty switch
• Restores proper tactile feel and electrical engagement for dispenser operation

What's included:

• One paddle front switch assembly

Install notes:

• Disconnect refrigerator power (and water supply if needed) before starting
• Remove dispenser bezel or front trim to access the switch; handle the paddle carefully
• Verify electrical connector seating and secure mounting during reassembly
