The Ice Dispenser Solenoid is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is a crucial component that controls the flow of ice from the ice maker to the dispenser chute.

Symptoms of a bad ice dispenser solenoid include:

• Failure to dispense ice from the dispenser
• Ice getting stuck or jammed in the dispenser chute
• Continuous flow of ice even when the dispenser is not activated

Causes of a bad solenoid can include electrical malfunctions, physical obstructions preventing proper operation, or simply wear and tear over time.

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

The Dispenser Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This switch is crucial for the functionality of the water and ice dispenser, as it activates the dispensing mechanism when the user presses the lever or button. The switch ensures that the refrigerator dispenses water or ice on demand, providing convenience and ease of use.

Over time, the dispenser switch can wear out or become damaged due to frequent use, exposure to moisture, or electrical issues. This can result in the switch failing to activate the dispenser properly, impacting the performance of the refrigerator's dispensing system.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser switch include:

• The water or ice dispenser not responding when the lever or button is pressed
• Intermittent or inconsistent dispensing of water or ice
• 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 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 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
• Unusual noises during the dispensing process
• The dispenser door staying open or not sealing properly

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