• Can address symptoms like no ice production, small/hollow cubes, or a frozen fill tube
• Reduces leaks at the fill spout caused by ice blockage

• Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water supply before servicing.
• Defrost any ice in the fill tube area; avoid sharp tools that can puncture plastic.
• Route and secure the heater along the fill tube as originally installed; avoid pinching wires.
• Ensure the electrical connector is fully seated, then restore power and verify ice maker operation.

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
• Remove dispenser trim/control to access the ice chute door assembly; note spring orientation and anchor points
• Install the new spring in the same orientation; the flapper moves freely and closes under spring tension
• Wear gloves and use caution—metal edges in the dispenser area can be sharp

This is the refrigerator door mullion, also called the flipper rail. It creates the vertical center seal between the fresh food doors, helping reduce air leaks and condensation so the doors close smoothly and temperatures stay consistent. What it does:

• Swings with the left door to cover the gap between the French doors and seal against the opposing gasket
• Helps minimize warm air infiltration, condensation, and frost at the center post
• Restores proper door closure when the original rail is cracked, bent, or has a failed hinge/spring
• Common symptoms: loose or dangling center rail, doors popping back open, moisture/sweating at the center, visible cracks or broken tabs

• One door mullion (flipper rail) assembly

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; turn off water supply if lines run through the door
• Work with the doors supported to avoid misalignment or damage
• Transfer and align the rail on the upper and lower pivots, then secure with existing fasteners
• After installation, the rail flips freely and the doors seal and latch properly

The Ice Chute Plate is an OEM part for Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators featuring an internal automatic icemaker. It provides the mounting location and base for the ice chute assembly.
