Customer Questions and Answers for Ice Door Spring by Ge

Best Seller
Manufacturer Part
4.89 (64)
By: Ge
Part Number: OEM6181029
Manufacturer Part Number: WR2X8663

The Ice Door Spring is an OEM part compatible with GE refrigerators. It is responsible for providing tension and support to the ice chute door, allowing it to open and close smoothly. When you activate the ice dispenser, the spring helps to release the door and allow the ice to pass through. After dispensing, the spring assists in closing the door to prevent cold air leakage and maintain the desired temperature inside the refrigerator.

You should replace the ice door spring if it loses tension or breaks, which can happen due to regular wear and tear, frequent use, or accidental damage. A faulty spring can lead to issues with the ice dispenser's operation and overall efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad ice door spring may include:

  • Difficulty in opening or closing the ice chute door
  • Ice dispensing issues, such as the door not opening when the dispenser is activated
  • Cold air leakage from the ice chute area
  • Ice buildup on the front of the icemaker

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

For Ge Ice Door Spring (Part Number: OEM6181029)

1 Answer

Kevin, This answer is the most detailed answer that we can give as there are no specific written instructions from the manufacturer about installing the part. Look behind the removed fountain control board and looking straight at the chute flapper in the closed position. The spring part # WR2X8663 is on the lt. side. The straight end of the spring is in the up position and it holds the chute tension as it is pointed back up towards you. The square formed hook end is placed through the chute actuator arm part # WR17X3089. The chute actuator arm has a hole that the hooked end will go into. Then the small metal bracket and screw holds the left side as it pivots. Then the rt. side of the act. arm is placed through the solenoid plunger slotted upper area.
