The Dispenser Actuator Pad is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to fit seamlessly beneath the dispenser control panel and detect when buttons are pressed. When activated, the dispenser actuator pad communicates with the refrigerator's electronic board to dispense water, ice, and crushed ice through the integrated dispenser function.

Causes of a bad actuator pad include wear over time, electronic malfunctions within the pad itself, or damage from liquid or impact.

Symptoms of a bad actuator pad are:

• Dispenser buttons no longer functioning properly or responding
• Inability to dispense water, ice, or crushed ice through the door
• Leaks or drips from around the dispenser control panel

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
