• Provides sealing surfaces to help prevent air leaks that lead to frost or condensation around the dispenser
• Directs ice/water flow for cleaner, more controlled dispensing
• Replace if cracked, warped, loose, or if you notice frost/moisture around the chute or splashing/dripping during dispense

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before service
• Remove the dispenser front/trim to access the separator; handle wiring/connectors with care and reuse existing fasteners
• Avoid prying on finished surfaces; use non-marring tools
• Restore power and test ice and water dispensing; check for proper chute sealing

• Remove the ice bin and access the guide per your model's design
• Transfer and reuse existing mounting screws or clips, if applicable
• Verify alignment, then test both cubed and crushed dispensing

This ice door motor drives the dispenser flap that opens for ice dispensing and closes to seal the chute. Replacing a weak or failed motor restores smooth door movement and helps prevent warm air and moisture from entering the freezer. What it does:

• Actuates the ice chute door during dispensing and returns it closed for a proper seal
• Helps reduce frost, condensation, and ice clumping around the dispenser
• Can address ice not dispensing due to the door not opening/closing
• May resolve clicking or grinding noises from the dispenser area

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove dispenser trim/control panel to access the ice door assembly; handle wiring carefully
• Note linkage and wire orientation before removal to ensure proper reassembly
• After installation, test the dispenser to verify the door opens/closes and seals the chute

Color: black. It measures about 10 inches wide by 3 inches deep.

This lighted dispenser actuator pad assembly replaces the extra-large paddle you press to dispense water or ice from the door. It restores smooth, reliable activation and visibility when the original pad is cracked, worn, or unresponsive.

• Acts as the user-pressed paddle that engages the dispenser switch for water/ice
• Integrated illumination helps light the dispenser alcove for easier use in low light
• Helps address intermittent dispensing, sticking or continuous dispensing, or the need to press excessively hard
• Replaces broken, loose, or discolored paddles for better function and appearance

• Disconnect power before servicing the dispenser area
• Remove the drip tray and dispenser trim/escutcheon to access the pad assembly
• Release retaining tabs/screws and disconnect any wire harnesses; note orientation
• Install the new assembly, reconnect wiring, reassemble trim, restore power, and test dispensing and lighting

• Lift out the old tray and position the new one with correct orientation
• Reinstall grates and verify proper seating and clearances before use

This dispenser facade replaces the outer trim pieces around your refrigerator's ice and water dispenser, restoring appearance and proper fit for smooth operation and sealing. It's a direct-fit cosmetic and protective assembly. What it does:

• Covers and protects the dispenser opening and controls from damage and debris
• Provides a finished look and helps direct water/ice into the cup
• Restores proper alignment when cracked, warped, or broken facade causes interference
• Helps prevent drafts and minor water splash at the dispenser area

The Dispenser Drip Tray is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators featuring built-in water dispensers. Located underneath the outlet spout, it collects any accidental water overflow or spilled cubes to prevent messes. 

Causes of a bad dispenser drip tray involve cracks interfering with its collection surface, or warping preventing it from fully guiding water into the pan below. Damage risks difficulties. 

Symptoms include:

• Water collecting outside the tray area on the cabinetry below
• Dispenser outlet jams from backflow during partial fills  
• Ice cube spills create a slipping hazard on the floor
• Increased effort required to avoid messes during dispensing

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with some GE, Kenmore, and LG refrigerator models.

The Icemaker Fill Cup is an OEM part for Whirlpool bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators. Located inside the icemaker assembly, the fill cup sensor works to automatically detect when an ice scoop or bucket is in place below the icemaker chute. It signals the icemaker to drop ice cubes into the receptacle below.

Causes of a bad fill cup sensor can include mineral or dirt build-up inhibiting sensor response, moisture damage to its electronic functioning, or physical damage to the sensor head.

Symptoms of a bad fill cup sensor include:

• Ice failing to dispense or drop when a container is in place
• Ice clumping in the chute instead of dispensing properly  
• The icemaker continuing to run even with ice present below
• Inability to sense when ice is removed from the bucket

This OEM Whirlpool replacement fill cup sensor is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators.
