Description

Distribution lever replacement that operates the dispenser/linkage inside the appliance, restoring proper mechanical movement and reliable dispenser operation. Use when the original lever is cracked, worn, or no longer moves freely. What it does:

• Replaces the plastic lever that routes motion within the dispenser/distribution assembly.
• Helps the dispenser or internal linkage open and move correctly during cycles.
• Common symptoms: dispenser won't open, linkage binds or hangs, or inconsistent dispensing.
• Works with the existing mounting points and clips in the dispenser assembly.

What's included: One distribution lever. Install notes:

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) and water supply before starting any work.
• Remove the dispenser or access panel to reach the lever; take care with plastic clips and tabs—do not force them.
• Inspect and replace any worn clips, springs, or adjoining parts to ensure proper function.
• Test dispenser operation through a short cycle before reassembling panels.
