Maytag Lever Parts

The Ice and Water Dispenser Pads is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It consists of two actuator pads that attach directly to the dispenser housing and are responsible for activating both the water and ice dispensers. The pads work together to trigger the dispensing mechanism and intuitively control the flow of water and release of ice cubes.

Constant use can cause actuator pads to become worn out or damaged.

Symptoms of bad pads include:

• Intermittent or unreliable dispensing
• Increased difficulty activating the dispensers
• Dispensers activating on their own without input

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

This genuine replacement pad provides the specified cushion or contact surface in your appliance. Replacing a worn, flattened, or missing pad restores proper fit, helps quiet operation, and protects adjacent parts from rubbing and premature wear.

• Provides the designed cushion/spacing or contact surface between components
• Helps dampen vibration and reduce rattles or squeaks in the area of use
• Protects finishes by preventing metal-to-metal or plastic-to-metal contact
• Restores proper alignment or smooth actuation where a pad is specified
• Common signs it's due: missing pieces, cracking, compression, residue, or new noises from that location

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before servicing
• Access the pad location per your model diagram; note original placement and orientation
• Clean the mounting surface; if adhesive-backed, peel liner and press firmly; if clip- or friction-fit, seat fully
• Reassemble and test for proper fit, quiet operation, and smooth function

Used on the black and aluminum models

This replacement water-dispensing lever restores a refrigerator's push-activated water control so you can dispense water easily and reliably. Fits the dispenser paddle area and matches the appliance's white finish. What it does:

• Cushions components to reduce vibration and rattling during operation
• Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact that can cause wear or damage
• Provides light thermal insulation and protects wiring or hoses from chafing
• Helps stabilize panels or assemblies for a quieter appliance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service.

• Replaces the dispenser actuator that moves to release detergent or rinse aid during a cycle
• Helps correct symptoms such as the dispenser not opening, soap not dispensing, or detergent tabs staying trapped
• Works as the mechanical link between the dispenser door and the release mechanism
• Engages with the dispenser assembly so product is delivered at the proper time in the cycle

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Basic hand tools required; follow OEM instructions for proper alignment and reassembly
• Inspect related dispenser components (door, latch, springs) for wear and replace if needed

Color: Apollo Grey

This small replacement pad cushions and protects contact surfaces inside the appliance to reduce vibration, prevent metal-on-metal contact, and stop rubbing or squeaks. It restores the original fit and silent operation when worn or missing. What it does:

• Cushions panels, racks or assemblies to reduce vibration and noise
• Prevents metal parts from contacting and scratching each other
• Helps keep components aligned by filling gaps and absorbing movement
• Commonly used where dampening or surface protection is needed

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Clean and dry the mounting surface so the pad adheres properly
• Peel and stick or press into place; use appropriate adhesive if original used glue
• Replace any damaged surrounding clips or fasteners to ensure a secure fit

This dispenser arm operates the detergent cup in the washer/dishwasher dispenser assembly so detergent is released when the cycle calls for it. Replacing a worn or broken arm restores proper detergent release and cycle performance. What it does:

• Moves the detergent cup/lid so detergent or rinse aid is released at the correct time
• Ensures the dispenser opens and closes instead of sticking or failing to latch
• Helps prevent detergent from dispensing early or not at all during a cycle
• Works with the dispenser mounting and latch components to time release

• Disconnect power and water to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access may require removing the dispenser assembly or control panel; keep fasteners organized
• Inspect surrounding dispenser components (springs, clips, lid) for damage and replace as needed

This is the black water dispenser lever for the refrigerator door dispenser. It's the paddle you press with a glass to activate the water dispenser, restoring smooth, reliable dispensing if the original lever is cracked or broken.

• Activates the dispenser switch when pressed to release water

• Can resolve issues where pressing the paddle does not start water flow
• Helps restore proper feel and function at the dispenser

• Disconnect power before servicing the dispenser area
• Carefully remove the dispenser trim/cover to access the lever and mounting points
• Transfer any springs or hardware from the original lever
• Support wiring and components to avoid pinching; recheck operation before reassembling
