The Ice Dispenser Actuator Arm is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is designed to engage the ice dispensing mechanism when you press the lever or button on the ice dispenser. This actuator arm transfers the mechanical action needed to release ice from the dispenser into your glass or container.

You should replace the ice dispenser actuator arm if it becomes damaged, worn out, or fails to engage the ice dispensing mechanism properly. Common causes of a bad actuator arm include frequent use, mechanical wear, or accidental damage that can bend or break the arm.

Symptoms of a bad ice dispenser actuator arm include:

  • The ice dispenser not releasing ice
  • The dispenser lever feeling loose or unresponsive
  • Ice dispenser making unusual noises
  •  The actuator arm appearing bent or broken

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

Hello Jamie, You may want to pull the dispenser apart to check to see if the pin may have come loose. To do this you will use a flat blade and pop the bottom of the dispenser trim out. Remove the screws holding the dispenser assembly in place and disconnect wiring. Check to make sure that the pin the holds the dispenser lever in place has not come loose or the lever being broken.
