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 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 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 Defrost Thermostat is an OEM replacement part designed for use in GE refrigerators. This component acts as a safety device in the refrigerator's defrost system, preventing the freezer from overheating during the defrost cycle. It works by monitoring the temperature of the evaporator coil and turning off the defrost heater when the coil gets warm enough, thus safeguarding the freezer from getting too hot.  

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include corrosion, a blown fuse inside the thermostat, or wear and tear over time, which can lead to malfunctioning of the refrigerator's defrost system.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Thermostat include:

• Frost buildup on the back wall of the freezer
• The refrigerator is not cooling properly
• The freezer is cold but the refrigerator is warm
• The defrost heater not turning on

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
