This dispenser lever holder is the mounting bracket behind the refrigerator's dispenser paddle. It supports and aligns the lever and switch so water or ice dispenses reliably when the paddle is pressed.

• Holds and guides the dispenser lever and actuator switch inside the dispenser housing
• Provides a secure pivot point for smooth paddle movement
• Helps ensure consistent activation of water and ice dispensing
• Damage can cause a loose or stuck paddle, intermittent dispensing, or no dispense

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the dispenser panel/escutcheon to access the lever assembly; note part orientation
• Transfer the lever, switch, and return spring to the new holder and secure with the original fasteners
• Restore power/water and test dispensing before reinstalling trim

This small torsion spring restores tension to the dispenser ice door lever so the chute door snaps closed after dispensing. It helps keep warm air and moisture out, reducing frost, condensation, and stray ice from the dispenser.

• Provides return tension for the dispenser ice chute door/lever
• Helps the chute door seal properly to limit warm air infiltration
• Worn or broken springs may cause the ice door to stay open or close slowly
• Symptoms can include frost/ice buildup in the chute, moisture at the dispenser, or cubes dropping/clumping

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Remove the dispenser trim/panel to access the ice door mechanism; note spring orientation with a photo
• Use needle-nose pliers and eye protection—small springs are under tension and can snap
• After installation, cycle the dispenser to confirm the door opens/closes freely and seals

The Ice Door Solenoid Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. This assembly controls the opening and closing of the ice door, which allows ice to be dispensed from the freezer to the exterior of the appliance. When you request ice, the solenoid activates, opening the ice door and permitting ice to pass through.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Door Solenoid Assembly include:

• Ice door not opening or closing properly
• Failure to dispense ice
• Ice accumulating or jamming at the dispenser

Causes for a malfunctioning Ice Door Solenoid Assembly can include electrical issues such as faulty wiring, wear and tear from frequent use, or mechanical problems affecting the solenoid's ability to move the ice door.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.
