• Helps maintain consistent performance and smooth operation
• Common failure signs: rattling or scraping noises, vibration/wobble
• Other symptoms: reduced performance in that section of the appliance, visible chips, cracks, or deformation

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if applicable
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; edges may be sharp
• Note the original blade's orientation and spacing before removal; install the new blade the same way
• Hand-rotate after installation to ensure free movement and clearance before restoring power

This flipper spring returns the refrigerator's ice dispenser door (chute flapper) to the closed position after dispensing. It helps keep warm air and moisture out to minimize frost at the chute and reduce ice clumping in the bin.

• Provides the closing tension for the ice chute door/flapper
• Helps maintain a proper seal at the dispenser opening
• If worn or broken, you may notice the flapper not closing fully
• Frost/condensation around the chute or ice clumping in the bucket may occur

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
