Customer Questions and Answers for Dispenser Crank (Ice Door Arm) by Ge

This dispenser crank links the dispenser solenoid and the ice chute door. When you press the dispenser lever, the crank pivots to open and close the ice door so cubes or crushed ice can dispense cleanly without warm air leaking into the freezer.

• Connects the solenoid to the ice chute door to control door movement
• Helps seal the chute when not dispensing to reduce frost and moisture issues
• Common failure signs include ice door not opening/closing, constant frost around chute, or warm/moist air leakage at dispenser
• Can cause ice clumping, frost buildup, or water/ice dispensed irregularly when worn or broken

• Disconnect power before servicing the dispenser area
• Access typically requires removing the dispenser front panel and trim; use care with plastic tabs and wiring
• Note linkage orientation to the solenoid and door flap before removal
• Inspect related parts for wear while open
