The Ice Deflector Spring is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This spring is a crucial component of the ice dispensing system, specifically in selecting between crushed and whole ice cubes. It is designed to always force the diverter back in a way that the cubes get crushed. When whole cubes are selected, the solenoid pulls the lever against the spring’s tension to shift the configuration, allowing cubes to bypass the crusher blades.

Causes for a malfunctioning Ice Deflector Spring can include wear and tear from regular use, corrosion due to constant exposure to moisture, or mechanical failure that prevents it from effectively reverting the diverter to the crushed ice configuration.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Deflector Spring include:

• The ice dispenser only dispensing whole cubes, even when crushed ice is selected
• The diverter not returning to the crushed ice configuration
• Unusual sounds during the ice dispensing process
• The need for manual intervention to get crushed ice

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

The Glide Bracket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This left bracket supports the refrigerator drawer, allowing it to slide in and out smoothly for easy access to stored items.

Symptoms of a bad glide bracket include:

• Difficulty sliding the drawer in and out
• The drawer not aligning properly or coming off its tracks
• Unusual noises when opening or closing the drawer
• Visible cracks or breaks in the bracket

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

The Ice Crusher Housing is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part provies a protective enclosure that ensures the ice is crushed efficiently and safely before being dispensed.

Symptoms of a bad ice crusher housing include:

• Ice not being crushed properly
• Ice jams or blockages in the dispenser
• Leaks or cracks in the housing
• Unusual noises during the ice crushing process

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

This armature kit is the moving plunger and linkage operated by the dispenser solenoid. It opens and closes the ice chute door during dispensing and helps it seal when idle to reduce frost and warm-air leaks.

• Converts the solenoid's electrical action into mechanical movement for the dispenser ice chute door
• Helps maintain a proper seal to limit frost and moisture around the dispenser
• Typical symptoms: ice won't dispense; chute door won't open/close; frost/ice buildup at the chute; loud buzzing or clicking from the dispenser area
• Wear or sticking of the armature/spring can hinder movement and affect dispenser operation

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water to the dispenser before servicing
• Access the dispenser mechanism in the door; remove trim/control panel per your model's service information
• Note the orientation of the armature, spring, and linkage; transfer components one-for-one to the new kit and secure hardware
• Verify the solenoid plunger moves freely, reassemble, restore power, and test dispenser operation

The Pan Cover Front Gasket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This gasket provides a seal for the front edge of the refrigerator's crisper or pantry drawer pan cover, preventing cold air from escaping and ensuring that the contents remain at the optimal temperature for freshness.

Common causes of a bad gasket include regular wear and tear, exposure to food spills, or accidental damage from frequent opening and closing of the drawer.  

Symptoms of a bad pan cover front gasket include:

• The drawer not sealing properly, leading to temperature fluctuations
• Visible cracks, tears, or warping of the gasket
