Refrigerator Lever Parts

This ice dispenser lever is the actuator you press with your glass to release ice from the freezer door. A worn or broken lever can keep the door dispenser from dispensing ice or make it hard to activate.

• Transfers your push at the dispenser pad to the ice dispenser switch
• Helps restore normal ice dispensing from the door chute
• Common symptoms: lever broken, loose, or stuck; no ice dispensed when pressed
• May cause intermittent dispensing if the actuator is worn or misaligned

• Unplug refrigerator before service; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove dispenser trim and control panel as needed to access the lever
• Note spring and pivot orientation; transfer any reusable hardware
• Test dispenser operation before reinstalling trim

Kit includes ice and water actuator arms.

The ice dispenser paddle is the front lever you press with a glass to activate ice dispensing from the freezer door. Replacing a cracked or sticking paddle restores dependable dispensing and keeps the dispenser area looking clean and finished.

• Transfers your push to the dispenser switch to start the ice dispensing cycle
• Helps ensure consistent activation when dispensing cubed or crushed ice
• Common failure signs: cracked or broken paddle, lever feels loose or sticks, must press very hard, intermittent or no ice when pressed
• Cosmetic wear at the dispenser opening

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the drip tray and carefully release the dispenser trim/control panel to access the paddle
• Remove mounting screws or tabs, note lever orientation, and transfer any reusable hardware from the old paddle
• Reassemble, restore power, and test dispenser operation

This ice dispenser paddle is the cup-activated lever on your refrigerator's dispenser. Pressing it engages the internal switch to release ice. Replace a cracked or unresponsive paddle to restore smooth, consistent dispensing.

• Actuates the dispenser switch when pressed with a glass to start ice dispensing
• Provides the lever surface at the dispenser opening; replaces cracked or broken paddle
• Helps restore consistent activation

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing.
• Carefully remove the dispenser trim/escutcheon to access the paddle.
• Release retaining tabs or screws, detach the old paddle from the actuator, and transfer any reusable hardware as needed.
• Reassemble, restore power, and test dispenser operation.

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

This humidity control is the adjustable slider in the crisper drawer cover that opens and closes the vent to regulate moisture around fruits and vegetables. Replace a cracked or missing control to restore smooth adjustment and consistent crisper conditions.

• Mounts to the crisper cover and links to the vent/damper door
• Slides between settings to increase or reduce airflow for proper crisper humidity
• Typical symptoms: broken or missing lever, slider stuck or loose, vent doesn't move as you adjust, excess condensation or wilting produce

• Disconnect power; remove food, crisper pan, and cover/glass as needed—handle glass carefully
• Release the old control from its slot/retainer and note the vent linkage orientation
• Seat the new control and engage the linkage; confirm full travel and proper vent action
• Reassemble the cover and drawer, then restore power

This white ice dispenser paddle is the lever you press on the freezer door to release ice. Replacing a worn or broken paddle restores reliable ice dispensing and a clean, like-new look at the dispenser.

• Transfers your push to the dispenser switch to start ice delivery
• Helps fix a cracked, broken, loose, or missing paddle
• Addresses a lever that sticks or doesn't return smoothly
• Useful when ice won't dispense unless the switch is pressed directly
• Refreshes a yellowed or scuffed dispenser paddle

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the drip tray and dispenser trim/control panel to access the paddle
• Note spring/lever orientation and transfer any hardware from the original paddle
• Reassemble, restore power, and test ice dispensing

This damper actuator controls the air damper that directs cold air between compartments, helping maintain consistent temperatures. Replacing a worn actuator restores regulated airflow and reduces uneven cooling or temperature swings. What it does:

• Moves the air/damper door to open or close the airflow path between freezer and fresh-food sections.
• Helps balance compartment temperatures by adjusting how much cold air is shared.
• A failing actuator can cause uneven cooling, temperature fluctuations, or reduced cold air in the fresh-food compartment.
• May make clicking noises or show no damper movement when faulty.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service.
• Access typically requires removing the damper housing or control cover in the fresh-food compartment.
• Align the actuator shaft with the damper linkage, seat the gear, and reconnect the electrical connector — do not force parts.

This actuator replaces the ice dispenser door motor that opens and closes the dispenser door so ice can drop into your cup. Restores proper door movement to help prevent ice blockages and missed dispenses. What it does:

• Drives the dispenser door to open and close when the dispenser is activated.
• Allows ice to release into the cup while keeping the dispenser sealed when idle.
• Common symptoms: dispenser door won't open, ice not dispensing, clicking or humming from the door area.
• Replaces a failed or intermittent dispenser door motor to restore normal dispensing action.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Replacement typically requires removing the inner dispenser/door panel; use common hand tools and keep track of fasteners.
• Inspect door linkage and wiring harness for damage when replacing the actuator.

This lever links the dispenser actuator/solenoid to the recess (chute) door in your refrigerator dispenser. It opens the flap during dispensing and helps it close afterward to maintain a proper seal and reduce frost and moisture.

• Couples the solenoid/actuator to the dispenser recess door flapper
• Opens the chute door for dispensing; returns it closed when released
• Helps maintain an air seal at the dispenser to limit warm-air leaks
• Common symptoms of a worn or broken crank: chute door won't open/close, frost or condensation around the dispenser, poor sealing

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the dispenser trim/panel to access the recess-door mechanism
• Note spring/linkage positions and transfer them to the new crank
• Verify smooth movement and proper door seal before reassembly, then restore power and test

This ice dispenser funnel guides cubes or crushed ice from the door chute into your glass. Replacing a cracked or missing funnel restores clean, targeted dispensing and helps reduce stray ice around the dispenser area.

• Directs ice from the chute into the cup to minimize spills and scatter
• Common symptoms: cracked or broken funnel, ice missing the glass, jamming at the outlet, loose/misaligned funnel
• Bisque finish to match bisque dispenser trim on compatible units
• Durable molded plastic designed for the dispenser recess

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing the dispenser area
• Carefully remove the dispenser trim/control panel; support any wiring harnesses
• Release tabs or screws holding the old funnel, note orientation, and transfer any existing hardware if needed
• Reassemble, restore power, and test both cubed and crushed ice for proper alignment

Symptoms of a bad lever dispenser include:

• Difficulty or inability to dispense ice and water
• Leaks or drips around the dispenser area 
• Loose, rattling, or unresponsive lever action  
• The dispenser not activating or emptying the reservoir

This OEM LG part is also compatible with dispenser models featured on Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators.
