Whirlpool 61003804 Refrigerator Dispenser Actuator Pad OEM Part

I replace the rubber pad and switch Thanks for speedy delivery orders parts on Monday and they arrived Tuesday

I replaced the actuator pad as the old one was worn and had lost its springiness. Even after replacing it the problem was still intermittent so I installed a spring inside the pad which solved the problem. As long as I had thing apart I also replaced the door flap and center strike bracket which was partially broken.

The actuator pad, which depends on the ability of the rubber to return to its original shape, had lost that ability and therefore would not pull back the switch actuator. I decided to replace the switch also. The new is quite harder to depress so I had to add a light coil spring around the actuator enabling the new pad to return to return to it's position, which seemed to bind when activated. I had the spring. All in all it was a relatively easy repair.

Replaced switch and actuator pad. Works great again. Wife thought we needed a new fridge but I showed her! = )

Replaced switch using video of DIY took about 15 minutes.
