• The dispenser working only occasionally or requiring excessive pressure to activate
• No audible click or feedback when pressing the dispenser lever or button

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

The Dispenser Lever is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is located on the front panel of the refrigerator and is responsible for activating the dispenser mechanism. When pressed, it engages the internal mechanisms to dispense ice or water into a glass or container.

Causes of a faulty dispenser lever can include regular wear and tear, physical damage, or misalignment. These factors can result in issues such as the lever not engaging or sticking, difficulty in dispensing ice or water, or improper alignment with the dispenser mechanisms.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser lever may include:

• Inability to dispense ice or water when the lever is pressed
• Sticking or jamming of the lever
• Misalignment with the dispenser mechanisms

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Dispenser Housing Shield is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component plays a crucial role in protecting the internal mechanisms of the water and ice dispenser from damage and contamination. It ensures that the dispenser operates efficiently and maintains hygiene standards by shielding the delicate internal parts from debris and moisture.

Causes of a bad dispenser housing shield can include wear and tear over time, physical damage from excessive force or mishandling, or exposure to moisture that leads to material degradation. Regular inspection and maintenance can help in identifying issues before they affect the dispenser's functionality.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser housing shield include:

• Water or ice leakage from the dispenser area
• Visible cracks or damage to the shield
• Poor water or ice flow
• Contamination of dispensed water or ice

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

The Refrigerator Union Connector is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for connecting the water supply lines from the kitchen plumbing to the refrigerator, allowing water to flow to the ice maker and water dispenser. The plastic connector assists your water dispenser by joining two 5/16 inch x 5/16 inch plastic water lines. Over time, Union Connectors can crack or break under pressure. 

Causes of a bad Union Connector include wear and tear from repeated use, exposure to extreme fluctuations or surges in water pressure, or damage from accidental mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad Refrigerator Union Connector include:

• Water leaks at or near the connector area 
• Inconsistent or no water flow to the ice maker/dispenser
• Fluctuations in water pressure to the fridge
• Water damage to surrounding kitchen areas from leaks

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

The Ice Door Assembly is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is integral to the ice dispenser system, controlling access to the ice chute. This component ensures the efficient delivery of ice cubes or crushed ice when activated and seals off the chute when not in use to maintain the freezer's temperature and prevent frost buildup.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Door Assembly include:

• Frost or ice buildup around the dispenser area
• Ice escaping from the dispenser when not in use
• Failure to dispense ice
• Noise during operation indicating misalignment or malfunction

Causes of a bad Ice Door Assembly can include mechanical wear from frequent use, failure of the spring mechanism or solenoid that operates the door, or damage to the sealing surfaces that leads to air leaks.

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

The Ice Dispenser Bucket Auger is an OEM replacement part for  GE refrigerators. This component is responsible for pushing or "augering" the ice cubes from the ice bucket or bin towards the dispenser chute for easy access.

Symptoms of a failing ice dispenser bucket auger include:

• Ice cubes not dispensing properly or getting stuck
• Loud grinding or crunching noises from the ice dispenser area
• The auger itself becoming cracked, broken, or jammed

Causes of needing to replace the ice dispenser bucket auger can include normal wear over time, damage from impact or foreign objects, or issues with the auger motor that drives its rotation.

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

The Door Recess Spring is an OEM replacement part for GE side-by-side refrigerators. It sits within the icemaker door frame to control movement and allow smooth closing/opening of the access point.

Causes of a bad icemaker door recess spring include wear and tear of thin metal coils repeatedly compressing over many years of filling cycles. Exposure to humidity intrusions from melting ice accumulates oxidation shortening spring elasticity. 

Symptoms of a bad icemaker door recess spring include: 

• Difficulty opening and shutting the icemaker access door securely
• Excessive slamming noise caused by abrupt closing
• Sagging or improper alignment of the door against the frame  
• Struggles retaining positioning of the transparent plastic doorway

This genuine GE replacement spring is compatible with Hotpoint, RCA and Kenmore models.

The Dispenser Door Recess Crank is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This crank is a crucial component of the refrigerator's ice and water dispenser system, helping to operate the dispenser door by opening and closing it when activated. It ensures that ice or water is dispensed efficiently and prevents unwanted air from entering the freezer compartment.

You should replace the dispenser door recess crank if it becomes faulty or damaged. Causes of a bad crank can include wear and tear from frequent use, accidental damage, or mechanical failure. A malfunctioning crank can lead to issues with the dispenser door's operation.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser door recess crank include:

• The dispenser door not opening or closing properly
• Ice or water not dispensing correctly
