Description

This ice door is the dispenser-facing flap that opens and closes to release cubed or crushed ice, helping keep the ice chute closed when not in use to reduce warm air and moisture entering the freezer/dispenser area. What it does:

• Seals the ice dispenser opening and pivots open to allow ice to pass through the chute
• Helps maintain dispenser hygiene by covering the ice path when idle
• Can prevent condensation and reduce clumping in the ice bin area
• Common symptom: dispenser door stays stuck, won't close, or lets warm air into the ice chute

What's included: One ice door. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Handle gently to avoid bending mounting tabs or damaging the door hinge
• Installation may require removing the dispenser cover or inner door panel; keep fasteners organized
• If the door operates roughly after installation, check for obstructions and proper hinge alignment
